OWC Accelsior Pro 8M2 64 TB

PCIe 8M.2 NVMe SSD with 64 TB for Mac Pro (2023) with up to 26,926 MB/s, incl. SoftRAID

Accelsior 8M2
Designed to be the fastest drive you can use in any workflow. Eight integrated NVMe SSDs offer speeds of up to 26,926 MB/s and industry-leading storage capacity.

Highest performance with the largest capacity
Whether you're speechless with amazement or spouting colourful phrases, the Accelsior 8M2 can be summed up in one sentence:
It is the fastest PCIe SSD with the highest capacity in the galaxy.
This beast breaks all performance boundaries - and every other PCIe SSD available today. We're constantly pushing the boundaries of SSD capabilities so you can realise your true potential. With the Accelsior 8M2, we take you beyond your wildest dreams and into the most demanding applications you can imagine, with certified reliability. From M&E post-production to real-time AI to climate research with huge data sets... You now have the power to confidently aim higher.

Eliminates workflow bottlenecks
As innovators in storage performance, we know that bottlenecks limit your style. The Accelsior 8M2 was intentionally designed to be the fastest drive you can use in any workflow. Eight integrated NVMe SSDs deliver blazing fast speeds and industry-leading storage capacity. Now you have the overhead to work faster, process more and store virtually unlimited.

Redefining the SSD reality
Creating the fastest PCIe SSD meant combining bold engineering with the latest technology. Each of the Accelsior 8M2's eight NVMe SSDs can operate at their full PCIe data throughput across x4 lanes. All this insanely fast speed is achieved through a PCIe x16 lane architecture. And to ensure the Accelsior 8M2 keeps running at top speed over the long term, a quiet fan is integrated into the aircraft-grade aluminium heatsink. No compromises. No compromises. Just the ultra-reliable performance Mac and PC users have come to expect from OWC storage solutions.

Loaded I/O intensive applications
If your work requires your storage device to deliver maximum IOPS (inputs/outputs per second) performance, the Accelsior 8M2 is a true data powerhouse.cloud applications, climate research, visualisation applications - the Accelsior 8M2 accelerates them all so you can work even more efficiently.

When survival depends on speed
Authorities, companies and institutions need to access and analyse huge amounts of data quickly in order to make successful decisions. Accelsior 8M2 is ideal for big data geospatial applications, including those used by emergency management organisations. It can process the conditions that occur during a natural disaster such as a fire or flood in real time, giving officials valuable time to make decisions that can save lives.

Shorter deadlines and project budgets
Whether you're a media and entertainment production professional or a transport logistics expert, there's one ubiquitous formula that impacts your success: time = money
Not enough speed to display real-time playback. Playback needs to be displayed in several different modes to determine the effects of filters and adjustments.
Not enough speed to ensure smooth playback of the new 8K and 12K-16bit formats.
Storage capacity is insufficient to store multiple reels, so reel media must be moved back and forth between the main recording drive and slower external storage devices.
The time-consuming process of accessing a finished roll of film on external drives.
Problems with space-saving methods such as reducing project layers, which requires re-rendering the layers you are working in.
By eliminating the need to remove a roll of film and renders from their current storage platform, this company can save up to two days from their production schedule. The Accelsior 8M2 could reduce production costs for this company with typical production projects of 10 film reels by an estimated $8,000 per project. This revolutionary SSD is a truly smart investment.

Brings data to the edge
The Accelsior 8M2 is a high-performance NVMe-based storage solution that delivers consistent data throughput with low latency. It is perfect for edge computing applications such as industrial automation, smart city ecosystems and intelligent retail solutions. It feeds CPUs and GPUs with huge amounts of data that are processed at lightning speed for real-time predictive analytics. If your organisation provides data-driven services to customers, any delay in service could frustrate customers who are used to instant information and lead to irreparable brand damage. With 60% of storage professionals using NVMe SSDs to process large, edge-generated data sets, Accelsior 8M2 is more than just a competitive advantage... it's a best practice.

100% certified for demanding use
We know how important your data is. That's why every OWC solution undergoes extensive testing to ensure the reliability you expect. Your OWC Accelsior 8M2 goes through a complete burn-in and performance certification process to ensure it's ready for your most demanding workflows - right out of the box.

Easily manage, monitor and share your data
For over 25 years, SoftRAID has been the most comprehensive and powerful software RAID solution on the market. That's why Accelsior 8M2 comes with SoftRAID, so you can choose RAID settings for optimal speed, protection against hard drive failure, or both.
Since the Accelsior 8M2 is equipped with eight SSDs, you can choose multiple RAID levels and RAID sets for maximum flexibility. Customised notifications allow you to stay on top of any issues that could put your data at risk.
Need to share data between operating system platforms? SoftRAID was developed with OWC MacDrive technology. This allows you to create and use RAID sets on both macOS and Windows computers.

Enjoy all the benefits of SoftRAID, including
Advanced flexibility: create RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 and 10 volumes; drive and RAID volume health notifications* Volume validation: ensures sectors can be read, parity is correct and potential volume errors are minimised
Certified performance: drives are validated before use to ensure they are safe for data storage
Vigilant protection: Predictive alerts protect against unexpected drive failures
Cross-platform: Integrated MacDrive technology enables read/write of SoftRAID RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays and their interchangeable use with Windows and macOS computers
Fast performance: up to 86% faster than AppleRAID
Full TRIM support: improves performance at all RAID levels
