Don't Get FooledWidely considered Thunderbolt experts, OWC work closely with Intel to learn and build with all the details of Thunderbolt certifications. While specific OWC solutions are certified for full speed on Thunderbolt, OWC (and everyone else) are limited to half that speed with DIY enclosures. USB4 unleashes the Express 1M2 performance capabilities so you can build the drive of your dreams. Unlike budget options that do not follow Intel specifications that will leave you disappointed with far lower speeds - the Express 1M2’s USB4 connectivity assures you of the maximum speed and reliability you count on and expect from every OWC solution.

Use Today’s and Tomorrow’s DrivesDesigned to support any NVMe M.2 2230, 2242, or 2280 SSD, the Express 1M2 gives you the freedom of flexibility to use any drive today - including OWC Aura SSDs up to 8.0TB capacity - as well as being ready for tomorrow’s 16TB and future capacities without limit.
Heat Dissipating Design
Patent-Pending Design for Demanding NeedsYou’ll never have to worry about thermal throttling because form meets function with the Express 1M2. Its solid aluminum patent pending heat sink design ensures proper heat dissipation so you can depend on consistent maximum performance. Unlike a snap together toolless enclosure, Express 1M2 screws together to securely protect your drive inside its rugged enclosure. And when you need to share the Express 1M2, it can work cross-platform with Macs and PCs using OWC MacDrive software (available separately) for peace between the platforms.
