Overview
Not just an external hard drive, the OWC StudioStack combines a large SATA drive bay, an NVMe SSD slot and a Thunderbolt and USB hub in one aluminum enclosure. It links to the computer over Thunderbolt and adds ports for displays, drives and other devices.
Buy it to add bulk storage and extra Thunderbolt ports to a desk in one box, especially beside a Mac Studio it is sized to match. Both drive slots can be upgraded later. The listing does not say which drive reaches the top speed figure.
Who it's for
Video editors and photographers with large archives get a single box that adds storage and expands ports. Travelers who back up away from a desk need a small portable drive instead.
Pros and cons
- Storage and hub in one enclosure
- Extra Thunderbolt ports for displays and drives
- USB-A ports for older accessories
- Upgradeable SSD and drive bays
- Hard drive speed not listed
- Needs its own power adapter
- Top speed figure not tied to a drive
- Short included cable
Performance notes
Real speed depends on the drive in use and the host port, since the listing gives one top figure for the whole unit. The adaptive fan switches on only when needed, and the aluminum shell draws heat away from the installed drives.
