## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the data transfer rate per drive if this is loaded with 4x nvme ssd's? does each drive get 2800 mb/s?**
A: Hello. No, you would not get 2800MB/s per drive in this unit, and achieving higher speeds like this would be with the drives raided.

**Q: Is it compatible with both 4tb and 8tb nvme?**
A: Hello. Yes, the OWC Mercury Pro U.2 is compatible with 4TB and 8TB nvme drives.

**Q: will the nvme's with heatsinks fit? or will i have to take off the heatsinks?**
A: Hello. NVMe drives with heatsinks would not fit in the U2 Shuttle. The Shuttle that comes with the OWC Mercury Pro U.2  itself is a large heatsink so no additional heatsink would be needed.

**Q: Does it need to use both thunderbolt connectors in back? or is it something like first port is for bays 1-2 and second for bays 3-4?**
A: Hello. You will only need to use one Thunderbolt connection on this OWC Mercury Pro U.2 the second port is so you could daisy chain a device if you needed to.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it!
*by S***T on December 15, 2023*

I loaded this up with two of their 4x nvme sleds and cannot be happier. Great build quality and is detected every time!

### ⭐ Abstract Failure
*by S***M on October 17, 2023*

Unlike Thomas’ poetic prose that do not provide any tangible information about the technical source of his problems, I will try to do so, inarticulate as I am.Tried to hook one of these up with an ASUS Z790 MB/ASUS TB'ex 4.0 controller, installed the U2 shuttle. Shuttle drives weren't recognized. ASUS said it was a OWC issue, OWC said it was a TB controller issue. Spent hours and hours trying to get it to work with no luck. All driver's updated, Bios and Firmware updated. Thunderbolt Control Center would see the device but would be in a Not Connected state. No one seemed to know how to fix that or what to look for.UPDATE: after down grading my ASUS Bios and using Intels latest Thunderbolt driver I am able to get 4 nvme drives to be recognized in one shuttle. Adding a second U.2 shuttle causes no issue but putting a drive in the 2nd shuttle causes it to fail - no drives recognized, device reading Not Connected.Due to an Amazon delivery persons misdelivering the first unit, I ended with someone’s package and was standing there when the misdelivered was happening - the driver ignored my waving/jumping up and down bc she had headphones on.. I digress). I immediately called Amazon bc I was ticked. I was told by Amazon to keep the original order if it showed up - it did a few days later, and they would send out a replacement immediately. So now I have two of these.Back to my problem, when I plugged the unit in and can get 4 drives to work in either but can’t get a Firth to either. I’ve tried various combinations with no luck. Frustrating.Also, I purchased the soft raid solution and setup a few different raid levels. There is NO performance gain over single drives. Disappointing. I used Samsung 980 2TB drives so they are gen 4 PCIe. I understand Thunderbolt 3/4 is limited to PCIe gen 3 - I’d hoped to get beyond 1500 when the limit is ~3000.So still frustrating. OWC supports has asked for logs etc but doesn’t have an answer to date.UPDATE 2: Now OWC is asking for receipts before they will assist me further. I sent them the order info from Amazon, but that isn’t good enough.IN CLOSING: Well OWC says it won’t work on my machine - ASUS Z790/ 13th gen Intel CPU. Two many upstream switches - kinda makes me think Windows 10/11 based machine using a Thunderbolt 3/4 would encounter the same problem and saying that an 8 drive configuration is supported for windows machines is at a minimum a mid characterization. Their recommendation is to try on a Mac.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Unit Needs Fan Mod
*by J***F on August 30, 2023*

This is a great product minus the fan noise. I ended up replacing it with a 25MM Noctua fan and it runs much quieter and cooler. Getting full 2800 MB/s with 4 x Crucial 4TB NVMEs. Plan on adding another sled when I’m ready for more space. That is one other downside, you have to purchase the NVME caddy. Also, don’t bother with SoftRaid. It’s not worth the money.
