The Portable SSD For All Computerkind™

The first portable SSDs on the market were truly one small step in mobile storage advancement, often with limited capacity, speeds, and reliability. The Envoy Pro FX is one giant leap For All Computerkind™ as it's the first portable SSD with out-of-this-world performance and compatibility. Plug into yesterday's and today's Thunderbolt and USB equipped Macs and PCs. Plug into tomorrow's Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 machines. You can even plug it into iPad Pro, Chromebook, and Surface devices. Imagine...never having to worry about what your external drive works with or what interface your drive has!

Xtreme Performance

The X in Envoy Pro FX means you can enjoy Xtreme max performance from any interface you connect to with speeds up to 2800MB/s. Whether you're looking to access and save files from an older machine, backup up personal files, or do some in-field large format video editing, the Envoy Pro FX can handle every audio, video, photo, graphics, and gaming task you throw at it.

Ideal for Everyone and Every Need

Mac and PC compatibility back to 2010. Fast. Tough. Portable. That's a lot of features boxes checked off. The Envoy Pro FX then goes to the next level by being the ideal drive for a wide variety of uses:

• Photo, video, and document storage
• Backups via Time Machine or File History
• Secondary/portable OS boot drive
• On-set project drive for editing dailies
• Multi-angled camera editing
• Explore your photo's potential in Affinity Photo and Adobe Photoshop
• Utilize large sample libraries within audio projects
• A portable Steam games library

Certified Tough

Flexible uses in Xtreme environments is a defining attribute of the Envoy Pro FX. Its sleek heat dissipating aluminum housing is IP67 rated so you can work in the dirtiest and wettest environments. Take on the urban jungle or a chaotic set with supreme confidence that your data is protected by MIL-STD810G certified military-level drop toughness. It's so tough that we sent it into space aboard the Blue Origin New Shepard rocket! Whether you're dropping it or suspending it in zero G, the Envoy Pro FX has all the right stuff.

Difference Making Truth

Big theoretical performance numbers are certainly eye-catchers...but they rarely reflect real-world performance. That's why we take the extra time to run OWC storage solutions through intensive performance testing. Truthfully listing the Envoy Pro FX's up to 2800MB/s real-world test results defines our commitment to the "OWC Difference" which ensures you'll be completely satisfied the Envoy Pro FX will handle your most demanding needs.

Form Meets Function

The deeply grooved fins on the Envoy Pro FX's charcoal grey aluminum chassis aren't there just for good looks. They turn the entire enclosure into a highly effective heat sink for maximum heat dissipation and performance. Even after prolonged top speed file transfers, the silent Envoy Pro FX remains reliably cool.

Lock It Up

Protect client project files or personal information with ease. Fully compatible with macOS and Windows built-in encryption, the Envoy Pro FX lets you add peace of mind password security to your data whenever you need it.

Intel® Evo™ + Thunderbolt™ Certified

OWC Envoy Pro FX achieves Intel Evo + Thunderbolt Certification - a recognition of the exceptional performance and experience you can expect when you pair Envoy Pro FX with with Intel Evo laptops.

Experience up to an astonishing 3151MB/s speed when you use the Express 1M2 with most Macs and PCs you own from 2020 and newer. You can also enjoy highly effective performance (yep...you can edit 4K video no problem) and flexible compatibility with millions of yesterday's Thunderbolt and USB-C machines and devices

Don't Get Fooled

Because we're widely considered the Thunderbolt experts and work very closely with Intel, we know all the little details that others overlook. While specific OWC solutions are certified for full speed on Thunderbolt, we (and everyone else) are limited to half that speed with DIY enclosures. USB4 unleashes the Express 1M2 performance capabilities so you can build the drive of your dreams. Unlike budget brand pretenders that do not follow Intel specifications - and will leave you feeling fooled and disappointed in far lower speeds - the Express 1M2's USB4 connectivity assures you of the maximum speed and reliability you count on and expect from every OWC solution.

The Power of DIY

Build your Express 1M2 with a brand-new drive. Retask an existing drive replaced during an upgrade. Or make it simple by choosing a pre-built proven OWC reliable solution. Whatever your decision, Express 1M2 gives you the power to make it happen.

Built to Handle Demanding Needs

You'll never have to worry about thermal throttling because form meets function with the Express 1M2. Its solid aluminum heat sink design ensures proper heat dissipation so you can depend on consistent maximum performance. Unlike a snap together toolless enclosure, Express 1M2 screws together to securely protect your drive inside its rugged enclosure. And when you need to share the Express 1M2, it can work cross-platform with Macs and PCs using OWC MacDrive software (available separately) for peace between the platforms.
