SoftRAID XT is the most powerful, intuitive software RAID utility on the market.
Includes SoftRAID XT: Easy and Complete Drive Management And with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, ThunderBlade fits your workflow daisy-chain perfectly. It’s compact and tough enough to withstand even the roughest treatment in between locations, and it comes complete with its own ballistic hard-shell case for even greater protection. And with SoftRAID, two ThunderBlades can reach dizzying heights up to 3800MB/s.ĭesigned to be rugged and dependable as well as blazing fast, ThunderBlade is equally at home on the road, on set or in the edit suite. ThunderBlade delivers the performance to match – capable of unbelievable transfer speeds up to 2800MB/s read & 2450MB/s write. The success of your project depends on quick data processing, and demands performance and efficiency working with uncompressed, high-bandwidth content streams.

In a fast-paced, professional environment, time is money and performance is everything. In terms of pure transfer speed, ThunderBlade is at the absolute cutting edge of possibility. The downside today is that it won’t work on a Big Sur system (a beta is available).OWC’s extreme performance ThunderBlade might just be the ultimate working drive for media professionals. I’m a fan of SoftRAID because it offers maximum volume capacity, best possible drive performance, data protection, and more, and it’s ideal for anyone who needs to safely store and back up massive amounts of data, e.g., video editors, audio producers, photographers, and graphic designers. With or without OWC’s Soft-RAID software, you can put these in RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 or 1+0 (10). The four Aura P12 NVMe SSDs inside the OWC U.2 Shuttle give you more RAID options than a dual-drive enclosure or adapter card. It’s so quiet that I was able to just place it on my desk.Īs for the U.2 Shuttle, I must admit it makes your workflow very efficient if you can just take a whole day’s worth of images and/or videoclips and replace it with a fresh shuttle, ready to go for the next session, with both of them ready for offloading at a later time. The fan does make some noise, but you’d have to put your ear at about 10cm from the unit to hear a faint, low-pitched fan noise. I’m very happy to say that’s absolutely not the case with the Mercury Helios. Other OWC devices I tested in the past have often not been silent, and I needed to bury them beneath my desk to keep the noise to a bearable level.
I feared for the sound of the quite large cooling fan inside the Mercury Helios that’s designed to cool PCIe cards as well as the shuttle. The whole, when installed and ready, is robust and heavy. The U.2 Shuttle itself has a security lock with key, and the enclosure has cooling ribs made for heat dissipation.
#Softraid beta install#
Unfortunately, with the U.2 Shuttle carrier unit installed, the ability to install PCIe cards is lost. To install and use the U.2 Shuttle, you’ll first need to install a carrier unit inside the Mercury Helios 3S that enables you to insert the Shuttle and swap it out.
#Softraid beta pro#
My test unit came preconfigured with OWC Aura P12 Pro SSDs. OWC added the capability to install a U.2 Shuttle in the Helios 3S.
You can daisy-chain up to five additional Thunderbolt devices. The Mercury Helios 3S accepts one PCIe (x16) slot for half-length, full-height, single or double-width cards. The Mercury Helios 3S is an aluminum, dual-port 85W charging Thunderbolt 3 expansion box with a dedicated DisplayPort 1.4 for an 8K display. Expansion Box with Very Fast NVMe Stuffed U.2 Shuttle
