THUNDERBOLT 3OR USB-C?
A simple way to thiink of the differences:1. USB-C refers to the connector (port) and cable specification
2. Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.1 refers to the capabilities of the USB-C connector
Thunderbolt 3 is billed as “the USB-C that does it all,” because with it, you can connect to thousands Thunderbolt and USB devices.
For everyday personal computing uses, USB-C devices offer an attractive balance of price and performance. If you own a Thunderbolt 3 equipped computer AND require pro-grade external storage transfer rates, multiple HD monitors, docks with multiple functionalities like Ethernet, card readers, and/or the ability to use an eGPU, Thunderbolt 3 devices will make your dreams come true.

Even the most tech-savvy are hard pressed to describe the features of Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C interfaces in order to make a clear decision as to which one will best suit your needs. To help guide you like fog lights though bad weather, here’s a comparison breakdown.
2011-2013
What’s driving a bit of the confusion is the ports look identical and the only way to differentiate them visually is to look for the Lightning Bolt Thunderbolt logo imprint.
For the first two generations of Thunderbolt (2011) and Thunderbolt 2 (2013), Intel relied on the Mini DisplayPort connection. These iterations were primarily limited to Apple devices and not compatible with USB devices. That all changed in 2015 with Thunderbolt 3. This new generation used the much more versatile USB-C connection with the goal of interoperability and consistent performance across different computer and peripheral manufacturers.

When it comes to your photos, videos, and other valuable files, it doesn’t pay to scrimp on data security and management. Whether it is past archives, present projects or future jobs, RAID storage solutions are a key
component to optimizing and protecting your digital work.
So, what exactly is RAID? RAID stands for “Redundant Array of Independent Disks”, meaning you are putting multiple disks together for two main reasons — keeping your data safe or accessing your data fast. RAID distributes
data across disks in different ways, depending on the level of RAID you choose, RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 1+0 (10).
WHICH RAID IS RIGHT FOR ME?
DATA SAFETY RAID levels 1, 4, 5, and 1+0 (10) provide the
greatest protection from disk or hardware failure and can be used as part of a backup strategy to protect your business from theft,
fire, flooding, and other calamities.
DATA ACCESS SPEED RAID levels 0, 4, 5, and 1+0 (10) give you the fastest data access. With SoftRAID, use up to 16 disks in a single volume for increased
speed and spread volumes over two or more enclosures for incredible performance. You
can’t get this level of flexibility and performance from hardware RAID.
SPEED & SAFETY If you need fast access to your files and to
ensure they’re protected against disk failure, SoftRAID has you covered. By
compromising just a little on each, you can have a system that is both fast and safe.
RAID levels 4, 5, and 1+0 (10) will give you a good balance of safety and speed.

Full Parity: one drive is specifically used for fault toleranceMirror: simultaneously writes same data to two drivesStripe: Splits or "stripes" data across two drives

But having a library of sounds was only the first part of the solution — accessing those sounds reliably during a live concert posed another set of challenges. “I build my sounds in layers and that’s very demanding on the instruments I’m playing and they’re all coming from software,” David said. “I needed to rely on streaming and storage to be quick enough and robust so that I could use it in a live environment and rely on it.”
When facing a packed house of thousands night after night for one of the most famous musicians in the world, David relies on OWC gear to deliver the speed and reliability he needs to perform at his best. “I have control of the system and it’s fast enough that … I can enjoy performing and focus on having a good time and doing the show, knowing that the technology is going to keep up with me.”
OWC couldn’t be prouder to be a resource for a musical legend like David — and every other musician out there. It’s on our wish list every year to empower people with technology that helps them reach new creative heights.

EXCERPTS FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH DAVID ROSENTHALMusical Director and Keyboardist for Billy Joel
DAVID ROSENTHAL’S OWC ESSENTIALS
When you hear your favorite Billy Joel tune, it’s easy to get swept away in the music. The melodies and harmonies all come together in layers and layers of finely crafted sounds. David Rosenthal is the man responsible for the legendary live synth sounds of Billy Joel’s music, and he’s also an OWC fan and customer.
He turned to OWC years ago as he looked to modernize his equipment and solve some unique challenges. “Billy Joel’s music spans 30 years and … my job is to capture all those sounds throughout all those years without having to drag around truckloads of gear to replicate it,” David said in a recent interview with OWC CEO and Founder, Larry O’Connor.
The first step in modernizing his sound collection was adopting Apple’s MainStage, “I use the Auto Sampler program to create software instruments of my old synth modules of which I have stacks and stacks,” David said. With that, he was able to condense decades of vintage synths and gear into a portable sound library.

1. An external Graphics Processing Unit (eGPU) specifically designed and certified to use high-performance AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards for graphics intensive programs, video editing suites, VR/AR apps, and even high frame rate gaming.
2. An external PCIe expansion chassis for non-graphics needs such as high-speed network connectivity, audio processing, and ultra-performance SSD storage capabilities.
Within each of those product categories, there are multiple options and considerations. We’ve made it easy to find what will have the biggest impact on your specific workflow
Notebook, slotless (iMac/all-in-one PCs) and small form factor computers (Mac mini/NUC) are often mistakenly thought of as offering no expansion options. Thanks to Thunderbolt 3’s use of
the PCIe bus system, these machines can be given powerful desktop-class capabilities.
FIND WHATʼS RIGHT FOR YOU!
eGPU or PCIe?You can expand the Thunderbolt 3-equipped notebook, AIO,
and SFF computers’ PCIe capabilities with two types of devices:
For graphics intensive uses, you need an eGPU. Both the Helios FX 650 and
Node Titan can handle cards with high power requirements.
If you need portable graphics, The Node Titan with it's retractable handle
keeps you in the game.
To add additional functionality to your machine, choose a PCIe expansion solution. The Mercury Helios 3s lets you add a single expansion card while the Akitio Node Duo
can accept two PCIe cards.

“The most important need from a hardware standpoint is consistency, reliability, and performance. We live or die by these drives and they are directly associated
with our reputations as on set technicians. For Cintegral’s commercial clients, we immediately gravitate towards the Mercury Elite Pro Dual RAID. It makes my
job easier as OWC is a brand that Producers identify with.”
— Dane Brehm, Production Technologist at Cintegral Solutions
“Music production has transitioned completely into the visual world. So, having larger and larger amounts of storage that is reliable, transparent and extremely high-speed makes our lives that much easier.
The super-fast Envoy Pro EX and Envoy Pro mini are great for collaborative efforts. You know they’ll give you reliable results day in, day out under intensive use. When I need a larger storage array, I’ll take the ThunderBay 4 from session to session, hook it up, and I’m good to go.
Because the audio world works on a different financial scale – people are not tossing their hard drives and upgrading to SSDs. We’d be stuck without the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock as it lets us access a large archive of outdated format hard drives.”

I can edit my Phantom Flex4K camera’s RAW files directly on the Envoy Pro EX and that’s so insane because it’s so tiny and holds 2TB of data. And it downloads so much faster than a traditional drive so I can offload fast and resume shooting. I make backupsof it on the ThunderBay.”
— Chris Vanderschaaf, Phantom High-Speed Cinematographer

ADE WITH
When the cutting-edge multi-media production team from Springbok Entertainment set out to create the immersive VR anthology, “THE 100%” (www.the100pct.com), they knew they needed to use state-of-the-art volumetric capture technology to put the audience at the center of the gripping documentary. The team also knew their project’s success required the high-capacity, high-bandwidth shared storage provided by OWC Jupiter.
Engineered from inception with direct input from filmmakers including DITs, editors, colorists and producers to enhance the use of all major post-production software suites, Jupiter systems deliver high-performance, configurable shared storage that
eliminates the need for creative pros to conform their projects around storage device limitations.
“Our raw captures alone took up almost 60TB, and that was before we did any of our post-production and real-time development work. But the OWC Jupiter never so much as broke a sweat pushing all of that data around,” said Andrew Cochrane, Interactive Content Creator for Springbok Entertainment. “We were able to edit, render, encode volumetric video assets, process terabytes of LiDAR data, and back up the entire server simultaneously, without having to carefully schedule these different tasks. Normally you can have a lot of storage or a lot of users or a lot of processes running – but not all three and certainly
not at the same time without careful coordination.”
Debuting at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival and awarded the Tribeca X Award for Best VR Experience, episode 1 of the "THE 100%" depicts the real-life story of aspiring professional dancer Maggie Kudirka and her resilience to keep dancing after being diagnosed with incurable breast cancer.
Whether you aspire to create an emotionally gripping, cinematically beautiful film that shows production technology pushed to the max or are producing an edutaining vlog series, we can build a Jupiter system to meet your individual needs.
