OWC Launches 'Express 1M2' USB4 Enclosure for NVMe SSDs

OWC has announced the launch of a new Express 1M2 USB4 Enclosure, its fastest single NVMe SSD portable drive ever, with speeds up to 3151MB/s.

The OWC Express 1M2 was purposefully built to maximize the performance capabilities of today's and tomorrow's USB4-equipped Macs and PCs. It offers photo and video professionals, DITs, and prosumers/performance enthusiasts real-world speeds up to 3151MB/s. It also offers versatile compatibility to work with millions of existing Thunderbolt and USB-C machines and devices.




The Express 1M2 supports OWC's high-performance Aura SSDs or users can add their own 2230, 2242, or 2280-sized NVMe M.2 SSD into the secure, rugged enclosure. The enclosure will work with USB4, USB 3.2, USB 2, and Thunderbolt 3 & 4 devices. It boasts a solid aluminum heat sink design - unlike low-cost snap-together enclosures - that properly dissipates heat to ensure throttle-free consistent maximum performance.

"The Express 1M2 is built to keep the drive cool and performance high, continuing OWC's tradition of building products right vs. targeting a low-priced disposable commodity level," said Larry O'Connor, founder and CEO of OWC. "Our customer's data reliability is our #1 priority and the Express 1M2 is the ideal choice for those seeking long-term reliability and high performance."



Pricing and Availability
Express 1M2 is available empty without an SSD or in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, or 8TB capacities starting at $119.99. Note that the Express 1M2 can work cross-platform with Macs and PCs using OWC's MacDrive software.
