Form That Flexes Beyond Today
Engineered to support any NVMe M.2 2280 SSD and any 3.5" SATA HDD, this compact powerhouse gives you the ultimate flexibility to choose the drive configuration you want today—including blazing fast highly reliable OWC Aura SSDs with up to a massive 8TB capacity. When tomorrow’s 16TB and larger NVMe SSDs hit the scene, you can easily boost your StudioStack’s capacity.
Lift Beyond Your Limit
With StudioStack’s three Thunderbolt 5 and three USB-A ports, you’ll lift the connectivity limit of your Mac mini M1/M2 machine to a new PR. You’ll also love how easy and fast the two side-located USB-A ports make plugging in flash drives, card readers, and other frequently used devices instead of blindly fumbling around behind your machine.
OWC Thunderbolt Cable Included
OWC StudioStack comes with a certified 0.3M OWC Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) Cable. But if your workflow demands a different length to make the connection, OWC Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) Cables are the perfect choice.
- StudioStack with 32TB total capacity (8TB NVMe SSD and 24TB HDD) vs 512GB Mac Studio 2025
- 6302MB/s sequential read/write peak speed based on testing an 8TB OWC Aura Ultra IV SSD equipped StudioStack connected to a Mac Studio M3 Ultra running AJA System Test (4K-Full resolution, 64GB file size, 16bit RGBA codec, single file test). Actual performance may vary depending on the installed drive and the application used.
-
Thunderbolt 5 can support up to three displays from a single computer host port dependent on the host computer's capability. This includes up to three 6K or lower resolution displays, three 8K displays @ 60Hz, or two 8K displays @ 120Hz. Presently, Apple has enabled support for a maximum of two native displays per connected Apple Mac Thunderbolt host port. Software driver based technologies, such as DisplayLink (as supported by the OWC USB-C Dual HDMI 4K Display Adapter), may enable additional display support.
