That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that your entire OWC setup—from our blazing-fast storage solutions to our powerful docks and essential software—is 100% ready for macOS 26 Tahoe, iPadOS 26, and iOS 26 from day one.
So, go ahead and hit that update button with confidence. Your OWC gear is ready to help you make the most of these incredible new operating systems. Let’s break down what’s new and how OWC can supercharge your experience.
macOS 26 Tahoe: A Fresh Canvas for Your Mac
Apple is giving the Mac a stunning new look with macOS 26 Tahoe. The new “Liquid Glass” design introduces a beautiful translucent effect across the system, making your workspace feel more open and vibrant. But this update is not just about looks.
Spotlight is now a powerful command center, letting you perform complex actions and automate tasks without lifting your fingers from the keyboard. For pros, these streamlined interactions mean less time fiddling and more time creating.
Powering Your macOS Tahoe Workflow
Handle Massive Files with Ease: The new OS is slick, but your 8K video files and multi-track audio projects are still massive. An OWC ThunderBlade X12 gives you the fastest, highest-capacity RAID SSD to chew through that data without breaking a sweat.
Master Your New Desktop: With a cleaner interface, you need a hub that can keep your desk just as tidy. The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock turns one port into 11, connecting multiple 4K or 8K displays, your storage, and all your accessories with a single cable. It’s the perfect way to expand on the minimalist beauty of Tahoe.
Protect Your Work: As you organize your projects with Tahoe’s new colorful folder icons and symbols, make sure the data inside is protected. Our SoftRAID software is the ultimate tool for managing your RAID arrays, ensuring your life’s work is safe, secure, and fully compatible with the new OS.
iPadOS 26: The iPad, Unleashed
For those of you pushing the boundaries of what an iPad can do, iPadOS 26 is a game-changer. Apple is finally unlocking the true productivity potential with a revamped iPad interface, offering more robust windowing, improved external display support, and Mac mainstays like an actual menu bar, and the Preview app.
This update truly blurs the line between tablet and Mac, turning your iPad into a legitimate mobile workstation.
