OWC Envoy Pro FX 2TB Portable NVMe M.2 SSD

I purchased this drive for daily work and back-up of photoshop work. I moved all my work to this drive from my local drive in less than 2.5 min (550Gbs) Now I have local free space and use the balance of SSD space as my Photoshop cache. Improved workflow tremendously. The drive sits at the base of my iMac connected via thunderbolt 3 cable and never gets hot. Highly recommend this drive and will be using with 3D renders and After Effects training.

... only one OWC (Other World Computing). After buying this one, I ONLY invest in OWC external drives. Their customer support is superb, product quality is top-notch, and if you expect data to be stored reliably, OWC beats the larger, more established brands. This drive offers top performance on Thunderbolt; and, if only USB3 is available, that works too. I bought this one direct from OWC the moment it was released for sale, but the other external drives from Amazon. Now that Amazon has dropped the 1TB unit price, I dunno ... I might buy another.

If you’re like me and edit videos off of an external hard drive you want speed and reliability! I’m currently editing multiple videos a week and this device has been great for me. I’m currently editing A7SIII footage on FCP and it works with zero issue. The only problem I have with it is the price. Wish I could have gotten 2TB for the price paid for 1TB but that’s tech for you. Highly recommended

Fast with the M1 MacBook Air and the efficient cooling guarantees it won’t overheat and slow down Unlike other external SSDs. Dual Thunderport 3 / USBC chipsets assure compatibility with most devices, unlike TP3 only chipsets which don’t play nice with USBC

Have tried using drive as a backup for my MacPro and it either will not connect and show as available or spontaneously disconnects with a message that its been disconnected unsafely. This without being touched. Tech support wants me to try it with a different machine or different cable, but didnt offer to send said cable. Since it has a 3 yr warranty, Im trying to return it for a refund.

Sadly, I had to return this powerful little piece of tech. I realized after doing days of research that it was simply too much drive for my wifes needs. It would be like having an 800 HP Ferrari parked in the driveway but all you ever used it for was driving 50 feet to the mailbox and back. I will own one of these beauties some day (dont tell my wife please) but in the meantime I settled for a much less capable drive which cost about 1/4th as much. For simply storing data it will be more than enough. If you want to edit 4K video all day long without the thing getting hot or even breathing hard, then the OWC Envoy pro NVME drive is your ticket to paradise. Pro Tip: Never shop emotionally. Shop smart. If you need power and speed the smart thing to do is get the Envoy Pro. If you just need simple storage get a USB SATA drive like I did and save your money.

Just arrived, & this is my initial impression. It seemed like 10Gb was copied before I connected it to my MacBook Air! Too bad SSD’s are still so expensive.

My only negative is its expensive. Running M1 Mac 2021 Setup was a breeze. I have tried other SSDS drives with little success. I didnt give five stars because it is only 1 TB and its heavy. Saying that, its really built well. If you can afford it, I feel its still the best SSD to buy. I use it for back up on Time machine on my Mac

Checked speed of a 1TB drive using TB3 ports on 2 computers, different cables and ports. Used Backmagic and AJA test. All were tests showed about 1000-1300 MB/s Write and 1900-2500 MB/s Read. A Fantom 1TB using the same computer and TB3 ports and cable consistently has 2400 MB/s Write 2600 MB/s Read. Tests were performed on newly formatted drives and then with data on drives. Considering ordering another OWC to compare. I selected OWC based on past good experiences.
