OWC Displays Thunderbolt Product Lineup at CES 2026

At the start of CES 2026, OWC announced several new Thunderbolt 5 products, led by the Envoy Ultra, now available in an 8 TB capacity. The portable SSD delivers over 6,000 MB/s and is up to twice as fast as Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 solutions. It features a rugged, IP67-rated enclosure with shock, dust, and water resistance, plus a built-in Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) cable. The 8 TB model is priced at $1,699.99. OWC also updated its ThunderBlade X12 production shuttle RAID, doubling maximum capacity to 192 TB using twelve 16 TB NVMe M.2 SSDs. The ThunderBlade X12 reaches up to 6,600 MB/s peak and 5,990 MB/s sustained write speeds, making it the first Thunderbolt 5 RAID shuttle to offer this capacity in a compact form factor. It uses a fanless aluminium chassis and includes features aimed at on-set use, such as non-skid feet, a locking power connector, and a configurable status LED. Two Thunderbolt 5 ports allow daisy-chaining of additional devices.

On display, OWC also has its Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock. This feature two independent 10 GbE Ethernet ports, a front-facing 2.5 GbE port, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, and four USB 10 Gb/s ports, all housed in a fanless aluminium enclosure.
