OWC opens preorder sales for Envoy Ultra external SSD with Thunderbolt 5 connectivity

OWC has opened preorder sales for the Envoy Ultra external SSD with Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. The handheld drive can transfer over 6,000 MB/s and is compatible with PCs and Macs. The drive is bus-powered and does not need a separate power supply. The rugged aluminum case iscrushproof, dust-resistant, andwater-resistant.

The Thunderbolt interface was developed by Intel and Apple to succeed the older Firewire interface. Thunderbolt 5 is compatible with USB-C ports supporting the USB4 2.0 specification and supports transfer rates over 10,000 MB/s. The OWC drive is also compatible with USB-C ports that use an older USB specification, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 ports, but with slower transfer rates.

Very few devices and computers support Thunderbolt 5, so users will need to buy new computers with Thunderbolt 5 ports, like this Razer Blade 18 2024 on Amazon, in order to achieve the maximum transfer rate from the Envoy Ultra drive.

The OWC Envoy Ultra comes in two capacities available for preorder today. The 2TB model has an MSRP of $399.99, and the 4TB model has an MSRP of $599.99. Shipments are expected to begin in late October.
