OWC Envoy Pro mini (1.0 TB) - Portable SSD, USB-C + USB-A (10Gb/s)

Very stylish one terabyte USBCHDD with USB facilities when you flip it over but the USB-C connector could be a little bit longer as it is a bugger using it when the phone is in a case

I initially ordered this from Macway but realised that the product would be shipped from the EU and was concerned over the possibility of additional import, VAT and administrative charges as mentioned by others so cancelled. I found a supplier in Northern Ireland and had the product within 48 hours. I use the 1TB OWC Envoy Pro Mini to secure confidential files. On first use the drive needs formatting as only 8Mb is available. On the drive is a utility to enable this. I chose however to use the Disc Utility on my 24-inch M1 iMac to erase, rename and format the drive. As all my contacts use Macs I formatted it to APFS Encrypted. Setup was easy and the OWC was immediately recognised by both the iMac and 12.9-inch M2 iPad Pro to its full capacity. Read/write speeds for such a small package exceeded my expectations. The OWC Envoy Pro Mini is beautifully crafted in aluminium and offers a cable-less pocketable form factor. In my opinion this is an excellent product with good performance in a thumb sized package which demands a place in my bag/pocket.

Great product. But they retail for just $95 in the USA. That's around £70. At tranport and VAT and it comes NOWHERE NEAR the ridiculous £134 Amazon tries to charge you...

It's a great product but I didn't buy it I'm sure this product is excellent, however I simply can't purchase from Amazon. About a week ago I added it to my wishlist at Euros 144 - The sheer greed of Amazon that within a week it has been increase from Euros 144 to Euros 221 and further to Euros 223! Shameful!

Très pratique

Mein einziger USB-Stick! Ersetzt die 20 vorherigen.

Avevo molta aspettativa su questo prodotto. Sono contento delle prestazioni, ma, sfortunatamente non posso usarlo senza una prolunga sul iPhone 15 Pro Max con custodia ( che è la ragione principale dell’acquisto). Il connettore USB-c infatti è troppo corto.

ottima velocità di lettura e scrittura ne su genere.

Simply put it is fast, small and portable and seems to work well with my ps5 and m1 MacBook Pro after I set it up. The included Mac app likely isn’t compatible with apple silicon or modern macOS versions as far as I could tell and that’s not an issue if you know how to format a drive. On current macOS that can be done with opening the Apple Disk Utility app with the flash drive connected. It will show up on the left but it will be reporting only 8Gb. For some very strange reasons OWC thought that using a custom app to setup the drive as a mandatory step to ensure a good setup. That’s ok macOS disk utility can fix it by showing all volumes under the view menu in the top menu bar. Then you can select the main drive in the left and erase it as exfat. After that the full capacity of the drive is made available in my case 1TB Note: this will erase anything already stored on the drive so proceed with your own caution. After that the drive has been fast and performant for transferring video captures to my Mac from my ps5. Hope this helps and I just to say it is a nice drive with a decent 3 year warranty and I think they could have made its setup easier but it’s not too hard to fix.
