OWC is showing its Thunderbolt 5 production storage at Cine Gear Expo LA, June 5–6, including the ThunderBlade X12 RAID shuttle and 8 TB Envoy Ultra SSD, both CES 2026 announcements.
Cine Gear Expo LA takes place on the Universal Studios lot in North Hollywood next week, and OWC is one of the several companies using it to demo new additions to its range.
The centerpieces are two products that were announced at CES in January 2026. Headline act is the ThunderBlade X12, OWC’s Thunderbolt 5 production shuttle RAID. Packing twelve NVMe M.2 SSDs, it tops out at 192 TB of storage and delivers up to 6600 MB/s peak and 5990 MB/s sustained write speeds. It supports RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, and 10 via OWC’s SoftRAID Premium software, and can daisy-chain up to five additional Thunderbolt devices.
ThunderBlade X12 is currently available in capacities from 12 TB ($3,299) up to 96 TB ($15,499.99). The 192 TB configuration has no confirmed price or ship date yet, which is little surprise given everything going on with memory at the moment.
Also on show will be the Envoy Ultra Thunderbolt 5 portable SSD, which OWC claims is the world’s first bus-powered Thunderbolt 5 drive in 8 TB capacity. It delivers over 6000 MB/s and is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB4 connections. The line starts at $449, with the 8 TB model priced at $1699.
Rounding out the lineup: the ThunderBlade X8 (Thunderbolt 3 RAID shuttle); the Express 1M2 USB4 NVMe SSD; the Express 4M2 Ultra compact DIY NVMe RAID; the ThunderBay series of high-capacity desktop storage; a Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE network dock; Atlas memory cards and readers; the Gemini dual-drive dock; and the Jellyfish Nomad mobile NAS, aimed at DITs and on-set editing teams.
OWC is also a partner on the Adobe Color After Dark event on the evening of June 5, a free industry mixer for editors, colorists, and post professionals, held at 270 South Flower Street, Burbank. Registration is at eventbrite.co.uk and we’ll have more details on the event tomorrow.
