OWC’s new MacDrive 12 is the only solution that gives Windows users complete native access to every Mac format, including HFS+, APFS, APFS Encrypted, SoftRAID, and Apple RAID, directly in Windows Explorer.
MacDrive 12 finally makes accessing Mac disks on Windows simple, and everything you need is included. Mac drives mount instantly in Windows Explorer, files open and save natively, and workflows move forward without conversions, compatibility issues, or interruptions.

- Professional Performance – Engineered for speed and reliability. Whether you’re editing 8K video or managing massive photo libraries, MacDrive delivers the performance professionals demand.
- Native Windows Integration – Mac disks appear in Windows Explorer just like native Windows drives. Drag, drop, and work naturally without thinking about the underlying format.
