As you can probably gather from those measurements, it doesn’t take a lot of real estate to house four M.2 drives.
M.2 drives look almost like sticks of gum, measuring roughly 3-inches by less than an inch. Like those enclosures, the OWC Express 4M2 comes equipped with four drive bays, but the difference is the drive “bays” are super-tiny M.2 slots. After reviewing products with four 2.5- or 3.5-inch drive bays, I’m used to seeing larger storage enclosures like the CalDigit T4 or the Akitio Thunder3 Quad X. My first impression of the OWC Express 4M2 is that it’s really small. 2 x Thunderbolt 3 ports (supports daisy chain).
SoftRAID is a multi-threaded “filter” driver (one thread per CPU), and under heavy loads it can offer significantly higher performance than Apple’s single-threaded Disk Utility driver.Ī forthcoming version of SoftRAID will offer a single-threaded option (checkbox), to work around bugs in other flaky components this can be a (rare) issue today with certain hardware.
Can delete individual volumes without partitioning.
