Over an 80Gbps USB-C link it adds up to 16TB of fast NVMe storage without opening the Mac Studio. It suits anyone who has filled the internal SSD and wants expansion that stays tidy on the desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMac Studio owners who need more storage, since its internal storage is not user-upgradeable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo editors and photographers with large RAW libraries and project archives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone wanting fast scratch space on a Thunderbolt 3\/4\/5 or USB4 Mac, PC or mini PC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80Gbps USB-C connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e The latest-generation USB-C interface delivers up to 80Gbps, double the bandwidth of USB4\/Thunderbolt 3\/4, so large-file workflows are not link-limited.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual M.2 PCIe 4.0 x2 slots, up to 16TB:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two independent M.2 2280 slots (up to 8TB each) support PCIe 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 SSDs, with read speeds officially rated up to 3,600MB\/s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMac Studio-matched design:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 197 x 197mm footprint mirrors the Mac Studio's base, with a slim 17.8mm profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBus power:\u003c\/strong\u003e SSDs drawing under 15W combined take power from the Mac Studio over the same USB-C cable, with no separate power brick.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended power support:\u003c\/strong\u003e An integrated USB-C PD input accepts an external PD 3.0 adapter (15W or higher, such as a standard phone charger) for higher-draw SSD configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum alloy construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e A Frost Silver aluminum enclosure that matches Apple's own material language.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded 80Gbps cables:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships with USB-C to USB-C cables rated for the full 80Gbps link speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHost compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApple Mac Studio (also works with any Thunderbolt 3\/4\/5 or USB4-equipped Mac, PC, or mini PC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHost connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB-C, up to 80Gbps data transfer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x2 SSD slots (supports PCIe 3.0\/4.0\/5.0 drives), up to 8TB per slot, 16TB total\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated performance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 3,600MB\/s read (tested with Crucial T700 NVMe SSD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBus-powered under 15W combined from host; USB-C PD3.0 input for higher-draw configurations (15W+ adapter, not included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuild\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum alloy, Frost Silver finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 197 x 197 x 17.8mm, matched to Mac Studio footprint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 430g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2x USB-C to USB-C cables rated for 80Gbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRAID\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoftware RAID 0 striping supported across both slots (no hardware RAID, no redundancy; back up critical data separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you configure both slots together, any RAID striping is software only.
