There are lots of fast SSDs out there that advertise impressive read and write speeds. But as soon as you’ve got a large amount of data to transfer, all of a sudden your formerly fast drive crumbles under all the heat and pressure and something that should take a few minutes to transfer now takes a lot longer.
That’s why we put so much effort into building drives that aren’t just fast, but stay fast here at OWC. All of our external drives are engineered to hit the highest speeds possible while sustaining that performance over time. As Jon explains below, drives like the OWC Express 1M2 80G and the OWC ThunderBlade X12 reach top speeds in excess of a whopping 6000 MB/s. But what makes them truly special is that they sustain those speeds consistently.
