re: OWC Thunderbay

The original OWC ThunderBlade ("ThunderBlade X4") with 4 SSD 'blades' offered up to 32TB capacity. I own two of them (8TB each), and they still run like champs for me ~5 years later.

In early 2024, the OWC ThunderBlade X8 takes the concept to a new level, with 8 internal SSD blades and significantly faster performance* with capacity options of 8/16/32TB.
