Direct from the creative minds of the “Skunk Works” technologists here at OWC is another breakthrough innovation to solve your biggest challenge: how to get fast and massive external storage capacity that you can conveniently move around on-location, in the editing studio, or even ship to a post facility. Challenge accepted…and solved with the Node Titan SE. This Special Edition storage solution is the world’s highest capacity portable NVMe SSD RAID and it will completely transform how you utilize your Thunderbolt equipped Mac or Windows PC computer.

Up to 72TB of usable storage in RAID 0 with speeds up to 2926MB/s. A rugged commercial quality electrogalvanized steel case with a recessed handle to withstand demanding mobile use. A ballistic travel case for protective shipping. Node Titan SE is like our world-famous ThunderBlade pumped up to the max muscle on steroids!

Max Your Mac Studio

For all its wonderous capabilities, the Mac Studio has a couple of shortcomings. The internal storage is limited to a max of 8TB as a factory option and isn’t upgradeable. There aren’t any PCIe expansion slots to add a storage card. Whatcha gonna do when your projects’ capacity requirements come for you? Bad Boys Bad Boys (yeah…we like our reggae and COPS) like you need the biggest baddest capacity solution in the land to get the max usefulness from your Mac Studio.

Designed For Those That Need More

Our team is filled with creatives highly experienced in all phases of the video production world. We get your need for more speed and capacity when it comes to everything from backup to editing. Node Titan SE is a Simply Elegant portable problem-solver for pros like you that need more from their storage:

DITs and productions needing a shuttle drive that can be easily shipped while also offering performance and reliability.
Professional video editors wanting a seamless editing experience with a drive capable of storing up to 72TB of data to have all the files centralized and easily accessible while editing.
Creative professionals working with cutting edge workflows such as VFX, multicam 4-6K, 8-12K RAW video, 360 VR content looking for ultra-high-capacity storage with the best possible performance when using an external storage solution.

The RAID 5 Problem Solver

Using RAID 5 in the past meant giving up precious capacity and taking a big hit on performance. Node Titan SE solves that problem by offering up to a massive 64TB of useable storage while nearly maxing out Thunderbolt 40Gb/s limits with speeds up to 2477MB/s. Now you can streamline ingestion and backup times on set, edit ultra-high-res multi-cam sequences, and adhere to mandatory requirements (the 3-2-1 Principle) when producing content for large studios such as Netflix.

Grab n' Go Flexibility

Transcoding, offloading, backing up, or editing video on-the-go has never been easier. The Node Titan SE features a commercial quality electrogalvanized steel case with a retractable carrying handle to take powerful video production capabilities along safely and easily wherever you roam.

Powerfully Unlimited

You can work without limits when you add the Node Titan SE to your workflow. There’s a built-in power supply to keep your workspace free from the bulk and clutter of a power brick. If you’re using a notebook, you can charge its battery while pushing your creativity and machine to the limit. No more separate power adapter needed... just connect the Node Titan’s 85W Thunderbolt upstream port to your notebook via the included Thunderbolt cable and you’re set.

OWC Thunderbolt Cable Included

OWC Node Titan SE solutions come with a certified 0.7M OWC Thunderbolt (USB-C) Cable. But if your workflow demands a different length to make the connection, OWC Thunderbolt (USB-C) Cables are the perfect choice.

Thunderbolt Made Easy

We make it easy to choose the right gear. Our Thunderbolt Certified products offer the same performance and functionality whether they are Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4. And if you’re rocking a beloved Thunderbolt 2 machine, we offer a certified Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter so you can plug into our universe of award-winning solutions. No hassles, no confusion. That’s the OWC Difference.

Apple Mac models with Thunderbolt 2/Thunderbolt ports can be connected using a certified Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter and a Thunderbolt 2 cable (not included). This configuration provides data transfer at up to 20Gb/s but does not support notebook charging.
