With the recent introduction of the latest M4 Mac mini<\/a> and MacBook Pros<\/a>, we’re extremely excited to announce a new product that will help you get even more out of Apple’s latest Macs: the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As its name suggests, the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub is built upon the latest version of the Thunderbolt port standard<\/a>, which boasts double the bi-directional data speed at 80Gb\/s and delivers transfer speeds that are 2x faster than Thunderbolt 4 and USB4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By connecting a single cable to a Mac or PC’s Thunderbolt 5 port, the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub expands that single port to three USB-C Thunderbolt 5 ports and one USB-A port. Thunderbolt 5 is now offered on Apple’s new Mac mini with the M4 Pro chip and the new M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunderbolt 5 also lies at the heart of our fastest external SSD to date, the OWC Envoy Ultra<\/a>. Envoy Ultra is capable of speeds exceeding 6,000 MB\/s, providing speeds that in many cases match or exceed that of the latest Macs’ internal SSDs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunderbolt 5 not only unlocks faster data transfer speeds, it also offers up to 120 Gb\/s for higher display bandwidth needs. With an OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub, you can connect up to three 8K displays @60Hz with DSC. Plus, because Thunderbolt 5 is universally compatible, you can use it with USB-C host devices and connected devices that do not have Thunderbolt 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here’s how the main features of the new OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub break down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
