Each OWC Accelsior 8M2's eight NVMe M.2 SSD slots can run at their full x4 lanes of data throughput when installed into a native PCI-E slot.

The heat-dissipating design keeps the SSD cool, allowing for constant peak performance. The maximum storage capacity for the Accelsior 8M2 is 64TB, giving you plenty of space to store massive photo and video projects.

When you purchase an Accelsior 8M2 SSD, you'll also get SoftRAID XT, an intuitive software RAID utility.

In addition, it boasts features like drive validation, verification, and failure prediction.

Also included is Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office, allowing you to create complete backups, clone disks, and will enable you to backup locally, to the cloud, or both.

The OWC Accelsior 8M2's SSD is available from MacSales in capacities ranging from 0TB (add your own drives) starting at $799.00 and 2TB, 4TB, 8TB, 16TB, 32TB and 64TB models starting at $1,299.00.
