The Ultimate Hub for Your Digital Workflow
In the world of professional content creation, clutter and bottlenecks are the enemies of creativity. The OWC Gemini is the do-it-all command center designed to conquer both, streamlining your entire digital workflow through a single, powerful Thunderbolt 3 connection. This dual-drive hardware RAID storage solution and docking station declutters your desk by consolidating peripherals, charging your laptop, and providing a massive, high-speed canvas for your most demanding projects. Stop juggling dongles and external drives; it's time to reclaim your workspace and focus on what you do best.
Flexibility is at the core of the Gemini. Its dual drive bays are preconfigured in high-performance RAID 0, ready to unleash the full potential of your drives. For videographers and photographers working with up to 4K footage, two 3.5-inch HDDs deliver blazing speeds up to 562MB/s. Elevate your workflow to 8K single-stream or 4K multi-stream sequences by loading it with SATA SSDs for sustained speeds up to 956MB/s. For the ultimate performance, harness the power of NVMe M.2 SSDs (with an adapter) in a software RAID 0 configuration to achieve breathtaking speeds of up to 1446MB/s, effortlessly handling complex 12-bit codecs, high frame rate footage, and massive RAW photo libraries.
But the Gemini is more than just storage. It’s a complete connectivity hub. The front-facing, high-speed SD UHS-II card reader makes ingesting footage from the day's shoot a breeze. A 2.5Gb/s Ethernet port allows you to connect to shared networks and NAS systems at more than double the speed of standard Gigabit Ethernet, perfect for collaborative environments. Connect essential peripherals through multiple USB ports and expand your visual real estate by adding up to an 8K display via the dedicated HDMI port. With OWC's included Dock Ejector software, you can safely disconnect all connected drives in a single click, ensuring your data is always protected. The OWC Gemini isn't just a tool; it's the heart of a faster, more organized, and more efficient creative process.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country.

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
