Creative professionals with photo/video/CGI/audio workflows that can take advantage of a dual-drive hybrid storage solution:
- NVMe: Ultra-fast performance for seamless editing, compositing work, and cached 3D simulations.
- HDD: large storage for Lightroom libraries, media files, 3D assets, archival footage, inactive projects, and project/file backups.
- General users seeking to expand their Mac Studio storage and connectivity capabilities while matching the performance and design of their machine.
- AI engineers and data scientists needing fast storage and large capacity to store and run large LLMs with ease and greatly expand the non-upgradeable 512GB storage existing in their Mac Studio.
- Anyone wanting to add several Thunderbolt displays to a Mac Studio and expand the machine’s built-in storage.

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.

Muscle Meets Multi-Use
Accessing your StudioStack Mac formatted volumes on a Windows PC is remarkably easy with the addition of OWC MacDrive. This seamless software (sold separately) runs in the background, so there’s nothing to launch or learn. Just connect the StudioStack and not only do you have instant read access, but full write access too! MacDrive also includes powerful features that enable you to format and partition drives as well as repair basic disk issues.

Better Than Plug and Play…It’s Plug and Pump Up
OWC products are loved around the world over for their It Just Works™ ease-of-use and reliability. StudioStack solutions come pre-formatted (APFS/HFS+) so they're ready to plug into your Mac Studio or Mac mini and pump you up with power. Don’t fret if you’re a PC user, OWC’s free Drive Guide helps you easily reformat for Windows in seconds.

This hyper-focused attention to detail helps ensure you’ll enjoy a guaranteed consistent experience using StudioStack with a wide range of products and brands. As a final quality assurance, every StudioStack solution goes through a multi-step performance verification prior to shipping.

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.
