OWC ThunderBlade X12 is the World’s Fastest and Highest Capacity Production Shuttle and Editing RAID SSD

Other World Computing (OWC^®), a trusted leader in high-performance storage, memory, connectivity, software, and accessories that empower creative and business professionals to maximize performance, enhance reliability, and streamline workflows, today announced its OWC ThunderBlade X12, the world’s fastest and highest capacity production shuttle and editing RAID SSD, has been named the winner of Videomaker’s Best Desktop Storage Award at NAB 2025.

The OWC ThunderBlade X12 is the answer for Motion Picture Professionals and DITs looking for a production shuttle RAID capable of offering large amounts of storage at blazingly fast sustained speeds in a portable solution. To be more specific, the biggest problem this product solves is the need for a RAID solution compatible with RAID 5 that offers large amounts of storage at blazingly fast sustained speeds to streamline ingestion and backup times on set while also having a small footprint so that it can be used as a shuttle drive. Beyond that, it’s also a premium editing drive for video editors and VFX artists working with cutting-edge workflows such as multi-cam sequences at 4K and 6K, 8K and 12K RAW video, or stereoscopic 360 VR (Spatial Video). It’s the ultimate shuttle RAID for production use and the premium external editing drive for cutting-edge workflows.

"Congratulations to OWC; its OWC ThunderBlade X12 SSD is the winner of our Best Desktop Storage award at NAB 2025 in Las Vegas," said Sean Berry, Managing Editor, Videomaker. "The OWC ThunderBlade X12 is ideal for high-resolution video projects and large-scale creative workflows -- combining unparalleled speed, mobility, and reliability for modern film sets and editing bays."
