Good. Better. Envoy.

There are good portable SSDs. There are better ones. And then there’s Envoy, the best performance/feature/cost ratio solution available. Enjoy consistent sustained speeds with the aircraft-grade aluminum housing preventing thermal throttling. Fit massive projects in the palm of your hand with its enormous storage capacity. Start working immediately by connecting to millions of devices anywhere with the included USB-C cable. While others cut corners on materials, capacity, and extras, Envoy delivers a best-in-class experience at an affordable price.

Envoy is a universally compatible storage solution for all computer users, working with millions of devices introduced since 2014. It supports USB-C, USB4, and Thunderbolt (USB-C) Macs, iPads, PCs, docks, Chromebooks, Android tablets, and Surface devices. Whether you have a brand-new device or want to future-proof your drive usage, Envoy is the ideal choice.

Whether you’re a content creator, business professional, or student, Envoy is the perfect solution for your daily data needs. Digital nomads and hybrid employees require highly mobile daily storage, while content creators need to edit video, photos, or audio on the go. Audio producers need to record tracks on a multitrack mixer or utilize large sample libraries, and students need to save and backup classroom projects and presentations. Families want to store and run Time Machine or File History backups of irreplaceable memories, and mobile device users want to free up their internal storage capacity. Cameras with direct USB recording to SSD without dropping frames also benefit from Envoy.

OWC products are renowned for their It Just Works™ ease-of-use and reliability. Envoy comes Apple File System (APFS) formatted, so you can simply plug it into your Mac, iPhone, or iPad and start using it. If you’re a PC user, OWC’s free Drive Guide helps you easily reformat for Windows in seconds. Want to use Envoy anywhere with any computer? With OWC MacDrive (sold separately), you can use Envoy interchangeably with Macs and PCs hassle-free.

Store from Minutes to Millions

All the features and “technospeak” of an external drive are meaningless without real-world examples. For instance, a 1TB Envoy storage drive can hold up to the following file types:

- 250,000 photos

- 250,000 standard-quality songs

- 38,000 high-quality songs

- 200 high-definition movies

- 41.6 hours of GoPro 4K footage

- 4.3 million MS Office documents

- 24+ PS4/Xbox games

Secure Your Data

Envoy is ideal for sensitive client files or personal information that requires access permissions. It is fully compatible with macOS and Windows built-in encryption, ensuring your data’s peace of mind with password security.

Free and Easy Photo Library Backup

While other drives are basic, Envoy offers a user-friendly experience with free custom OWC apps like Copy That Mobile. It provides the fastest and easiest way to copy photos and videos from your iPhone or iPad to Envoy. By using this simple three-step process: Connect, Select, and Click, you can free up precious internal storage space while safeguarding your valuable content.

Ready to Go. Right Out of the Box.

OWC products are renowned worldwide for their “It Just Works™” ease of use and reliability. To ensure the highest performance, reliability, and convenience, your solution is formatted in the native APFS macOS and iPadOS file system. With OWC, you won’t have to worry about reformatting hassles or confusion like other solutions. Simply plug your drive into your Mac or iPad, and you’re ready to go.

Your Data’s Reliability is Our #1 Priority

Anyone can assemble a collection of components and label it as an enclosure or a drive. However, OWC stands out as a distinct entity. We are a diverse group of filmmakers, musicians, designers, content creators, and parents, just like you, who share a common passion for capturing and preserving irreplaceable moments. Our data storage products undergo rigorous and continuous development testing and certification processes. Moreover, we subject them to extreme real-world abuses to ensure their reliability and longevity. While some drives prioritize mass production and affordability, OWC prioritizes the reliability of your data and the longevity of our products above all else.
