While SATA is the most common consumer-grade SSD connection with up to 6Gb/s transfer rates, U.2 NVMe SSDs are designed to take advantage of the direct connection PCIe technology offers to achieve real-world rates up to 2631MB/s¹… over 4x faster than SATA maximum! It’s no wonder U.2 NVMe SSD use began in the enterprise and server market where ROI is defined in nanoseconds and ensuring reliability is paramount.

Now you can rapidly checksum, transfer data, and transcode the day’s shoot into the OWC Mercury Helios 3S, quickly pull the Interchange System tray mounted U.2 NVMe SSD out and send it on to postproduction ... imagine no more tedious and time-consuming drive enclosure disassembly to access a storage drive and install a new drive.

Blistering speed. Massive capacity. RAID-ready flexibility. Swappable convenience. The OWC U2 Shuttle is everything you’ve wanted in a multiple blade SSD but couldn’t get until now. It is the world’s first shuttle for four NVMe SSDs that easily inserts into 3.5 inch drive bays. Built for OWC storage and PCIe expansion solutions like OWC Mercury Helios 3S with U.2 NVMe Interchange System, this innovative carrier shuttle can also be used with PCs and servers with U.2 drive bays.

Be ready with extra Interchange System drive carrier trays, or add a spare bay insert to a second OWC Helios 3S in another location and swap drives between them.
