Thunderbolt Drives

Need the fastest possible performance from your external storage? Thunderbolt external drives are built for speed—delivering up to 40Gbps of bandwidth for smooth, real-time editing, rapid file transfers, and reliable backups. Whether you're working with high-res video, large photo libraries, or audio sessions, Thunderbolt storage gives creative professionals and power users the speed and flexibility their workflows demand.

Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 offer transfer speeds up to 40Gbps—up to 8x faster than USB 3.0. That kind of performance means you can edit directly from your drive, back up massive files in seconds, and daisy-chain multiple devices through a single port. It’s also the best interface for running multiple high-resolution displays while still pushing large files to and from external drives.

Many Thunderbolt drives are also compatible with Apple Time Machine and Windows File History, so backing up your system is simple and fast. Whether you’re archiving work or powering a media project, Thunderbolt makes it easy to move at the speed of your ideas.

OWC offers Thunderbolt drives in both desktop and portable form factors. Need rugged storage for the field? We’ve got compact SSDs built for travel. Looking for high-capacity drives for your studio? We offer desktop models with up to 144TB of storage—ideal for teams working on long-form content, large photo shoots, or music production.

Make sure your Mac or PC supports Thunderbolt. Most Macs from 2017 onward, including MacBook Pro, Mac Studio, and all M2 models, support Thunderbolt 3 or 4. OWC also offers drives with dual Thunderbolt and USB compatibility, so you can work across different systems with one device.

Need speed, storage, and flexibility? Our Thunderbolt drives support multiple RAID modes, plug-and-play setup, and daisy-chaining—helping you stay productive no matter how demanding the workload.
