OWC Announces NEW 1TB Capacity Envoy Pro EX USB 3.0 Bus-Powered Portable SSD

Woodstock, IL – January 6, 2015 – Other World Computing (OWC), a leading zero-emissions Mac and PC technology company, announced today a new 1TB model of the popular OWC EnvoyPro EX ultra-portable SSD. Elegantly designed in anodized aluminum to match modern Macs and PCs, the Envoy Pro EX fits easily into a coat pocket, backpack, or briefcase for rugged, portable, high-performance storage. Now available in double the previous capacity, the 1TB Envoy Pro EX will be available for a hands-on demonstration throughout CES 2015 at the OWC booth #30572.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Bus-Powered SSD

The heart of the Envoy Pro EX is an OWC Aura Pro 6G SSD which offers real world sustained reads up to 436MB/s and writes up to 429MB/s. Besides offering blistering fast performance, the Envoy Pro EX is bus-powered for maximum portability.

 

 

The Envoy Pro EX combines elegance and fantastic performance into a sleek, portable storage solution that hides its underlying rugged dependability.
