OWC U.2 Drive Carrier Tray

The Future Data Storage Standard for Production and Post Production Workflows

Speed. Security. Savings. The holy trinity of production to lab data storage workflow is transformed by the OWC U.2 NVMe Interchange System. It works with either the OWC ThunderBay Flex 8 or Mercury Helios 3S with Interchange System Drive Bay to deliver a time and money-saving swappable U.2 NVMe SSD storage solution perfect for high-performance film production requirements.

Over 6x Faster SSD Performance

The "e" in U.2 NVMe SSDs stands for express, as in PCI Express. It's a more direct and optimized path to a computer's processor for the fastest data connection possible. While SATA is the most common consumer-grade SSD connection with up to 6 Gb/s transfer rates, U.2 NVMe SSDs are designed to take advantage of the direct connection PCIe technology offers to achieve rates up to 40 Gb/s, which is over 6x faster performance! 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, data transfer, and transcode the day's shoot into the OWC ThunderBay Flex 8 or 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.

Save Time and Money While Securing Data

For over three decades, OWC has listened to its customers and created innovative solutions that solved their data storage challenges. The OWC U.2 NVMe Interchange System continues that rich history with an integrated solution that saves M&E industry professionals time and money while safeguarding their data.

Need to get that drive to post production on a tight deadline with an equally tight project budget? Just pull the Interchange System drive tray out of the drive bay and ship it to enjoy significant cost savings over shipping a heavy enclosure. Then just swap in another drive with an additional tray (sold separately) to keep your data and projects flowing smoothly and securely.

Durable Solution

A locking drive bay and tray help protect the U.2 connector from repeated swap wear for improved U.2 NVMe drive longevity and investment.

Keep Drives Cool

Utilizes the Helios 3S thermally dynamic design and active cooling to reduce heat saturation and throttling.
