Storage Drives

Astonishingly, Mind-Blowingly Holy Cow Fast

Whether it leaves you speechless in amazement or uttering colorful phrases, the Accelsior 8M2 can be summed up in one definitive sentence:

It's the fastest, highest capacity PCIe SSD in the galaxy.

This beast destroys performance barriers and every PCIe SSD on the market today. So much so that we considered naming it the Annihil8r! We continuously push the boundaries of SSD capabilities so you can realize your true potential. With the Accelsior 8M2, we're taking you beyond your wildest dreams and into the most demanding applications imaginable with certified reliability. From M&E postproduction, to real-time AI, to huge dataset climate research... you now have the power to confidently reach higher.

Obliterates Workflow Bottlenecks

As storage performance innovators, we know that bottlenecks cramp your style. The Accelsior 8M2 was purposely created to be the fastest drive you can use in any workflow. With eight on-board NVMe SSDs and speeds up to 12,000MB/s on the PCIe Gen 3 equipped 2019 Mac Pro, video editors have the real world speed for sustaining the most demanding VFX, color, and high-end video editing including seamless playback of:

• 16 streams of 8K ProRes444 in Final Cut Pro X
• 8 streams of 12K ProRes444 in Final Cut Pro X
• 9 streams of 4K 16bit EXR in DaVinci Resolve

Now you have the overhead to go faster, process more, and save almost limitlessly.

Ultra-Reliable Design

Creating the fastest PCIe SSD meant combining bold engineering with the latest technology. Each of the Accelsior 8M2's eight NVMe SSDs run at their full x4 lanes of PCIe Gen 3 data throughput. All that insanely fast speed is pumped through a full PCIe x16 lane architecture. And to ensure Accelsior 8M2 keeps running at peak speed for the long haul, there's a quiet cooling fan in the aircraft grade aluminum heat sink. And when PCIe Gen 4 SSDs and systems become more widely available, it's an easy upgrade to experience speeds over 26,000MB/s on a PCIe Gen 4 machine, No compromises. No surrender. Just the ultra-reliable performance that Mac and PC users have come to depend on from OWC storage solutions.
