Innovation Meets Versatility
- Configurable: choose from preconfigured solutions or add your own NVMe M.2 2280 SSDs
- RAID-Ready: RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, or 1+0 (10) gives you speed, protection, or the best of both attributes
- Broad Compatibility: use with OWC Mercury Helios 3S equipped with U.2 NVMe Interchange System, OWC ThunderBay Flex 8, and OWC Flex 1U4, as well as any computer with NVMe U.2 support and an available 3.5-inch drive bay
- Easy swaps: move between OWC U.2 devices, as well as PCs, enclosures, and servers
- Media workflows: dramatically lowers production-to-lab shipping larger, heavier drives
- Secure: key lock for data security compliance
The First of its Kind
Blistering speed. Massive capacity. RAID-ready flexibility. Swappable convenience. The OWC U2 Shuttle is everything you’ve wanted in a multiple blade SSD but couldn’t get until now. It is the world’s first shuttle for four NVMe SSDs that easily inserts into 3.5 inch drive bays. Built for OWC storage and PCIe expansion solutions, this innovative carrier shuttle can also be used with PCs and servers with U.2 drive bays.
Ideal for Media Production
Imagine… no more tedious and time-consuming drive enclosure disassembly. No more costly fees to ship an entire enclosure just to get a day’s shoot to post-production.
By utilizing a U.2 port equipped OWC solution or a PC with an available 3.5-inch drive bay on both ends, you can simply ship the shuttle to the post lab where it swaps in quickly and economically. Compact and lightweight for easy travel!
More RAID Options
With four NVMe SSDs, the OWC U2 Shuttle gives you more RAID options than a dual drive enclosure or adapter card. Now you can harness the power of RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 or 1+0 (10) via your choice of RAID utilities—including SoftRAID, the easiest to use, most fully featured software RAID package available.
This powerful and intuitive software offers maximum volume capacity, optimum drive performance, data protection, or a combination of attributes. Ideal for anyone who needs to safely store and backup massive amounts of data, such as video editors, audio producers, photographers and graphic designers.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
