Like all of our other new Thunderbolt 5 solutions here at OWC, the new ThunderBlade X12<\/a> is coming home from its debut trade show with a best of show award. ThunderBlade X12<\/a> is the fastest and highest capacity shuttle and editing RAID SSD in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week in Las Vegas, Videomaker tapped the ThunderBlade X12 as the Best Desktop Storage solution at NAB 2025<\/a>. The publication cited the X12\u2019s blazing fast speeds, RAID-ability, and quiet operation as some of the reasons why this new drive won a Best of NAB 2025 award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ThunderBlade X12<\/a> is the answer to Motion Picture Professionals and DITs looking for a production shuttle RAID capable of offering large amounts of storage at blazingly fast sustained speeds in a portable package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ThunderBlade X12<\/a> boasts speeds up to 6,600 MB\/s, doubling the performance of its predecessor. Capacities range from 12TB to 96TB with RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, and 10 configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ufeffBeyond being purpose-built for on-set production use, these capabilities make it the perfect, premium editing drive for video editors and VFX artists working with cutting-edge workflows such as multi-cam sequences at 4K, 6K, 8K, and 12K RAW video, or stereoscopic 360 VR (Spatial Video).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ThunderBlade X12 is the latest award-winning Thunderbolt 5 solution from OWC. The new Envoy Ultra SSD<\/a> picked up best in show awards at IBC<\/a> and CES<\/a> from CineD and TechRadar, respectively. The new Thunderbolt 5 Hub<\/a> also won a best in show award from TechRadar at CES.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
