OWC miniStack STX 1TB NVMe Matte Black

Why choose it

The installed 1TB NVMe SSD and three extra Thunderbolt ports add storage and peripheral connections to a compatible Mac; the separate SATA bay leaves room for another drive.123

Before you buy

Accessing the included SSD requires Thunderbolt and macOS 11 or later. A USB connection accesses SATA storage only, and the unit uses its supplied power adapter.23
