The OWC Express 4M2 Ultra is built for professionals seeking the fastest DIY RAID performance in a compact design. It was recognized for its ability to enable customers to install their choice of NVMe M.2 drives and configure in RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, or 10, as well as JBOD – for speeds of up to 6622MB/s. The OWC Express 4M2 Ultra’s design received additional kudos. Its solid aircraft-grade aluminum body and smart adaptive fan provide effective and quiet thermal management. A second Thunderbolt 5 port enables daisy chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt devices, including additional Express 4M2 Ultra enclosures that can be combined into a single massive capacity volume. OWC Express 4M2 Ultra is compatible with Thunderbolt 5, 4, 3 (Mac only), and USB4 systems.

“When a publication like Videomaker hands you Best RAID Storage at NAB, that’s not a participation trophy, that’s validation from people who actually understand what professionals are up against every day,” said Chris Kooistra, Vice President of Marketing, Other World Computing (OWC). “We take a lot of pride in that because it means we’re solving real problems, not just checking boxes. The OWC Express 4M2 Ultra is about giving creators and teams complete control over their storage, without compromise. You bring your own NVMe drives, configure it exactly how you want, and get insane speed in a footprint that doesn’t take over your desk. No bottlenecks, no noise, no drama. The kind of performance and flexibility you really need when you’re working with massive files, tight deadlines, and zero room for failure.”
