LAS VEGAS, April 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OWC®, a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company, is thrilled to announce that their extreme performance ThunderBlade™ has received Future's Best of Show Award, presented at the 2019 NAB Show by Video Edge. Future's Best of Show Awards are evaluated by a panel of industry experts and are selected based on innovation, feature set, cost efficiency and performance in serving the industry.

For creative professionals and prosumers who work to capture and process 4K or 8K video, the newest ThunderBlade can be the difference between staying under budget and on-schedule on a project - or not. With dual Thunderbolt 3 ports users can daisy-chain up to five additional ThunderBlades, and by connecting more than one drive with SoftRAID, speeds can be increased up to 3800MB/s. The newest ThunderBlade can complete a 1TB content transfer in under four-and-a-half minutes. 

"The Future Best of Show Awards at NAB are in their sixth year," said Paul McLane, Future managing director, content for media technology titles. "The program focuses attention on superb innovations in technology as seen around the million-square-foot exhibit floor of the industry's top trade show. The list of 2019 winners and nominees shows where media technology businesses are headed."

"Everyone at OWC is honored to have the ThunderBlade recognized with this Future Best of Show Award at NAB," said Larry O'Connor, OWC Founder & CEO. "Receiving this award is a win for the entire team, all of whom worked hard to develop the fastest and best external storage available for use by creative teams, so they can store their work quickly and safely, saving them time and money on their projects. We are grateful to the Video Edge team for this award."
