OWC USB 3.0 Key Reaching 480GB and Coming Soon

Other World Computing (OWC) announces availability of the Envoy Pro mini, an ultra-portable 433MB/s storage solution.

Envoy Pro mini is available in 120 and 240GB capacities (with 480GB coming soon).

Envoy Pro mini features industry controller technologies to deliver performance and reliability. Aggressive data management keeps Envoy Pro mini working at maximum potential even when full. Hardware error correction yields superior data retention and drive health, and compression and data distribution maximizes write performance and drive endurance.

It achieves sustained transfer speeds up to 433MB/s, making it the portable storage solution for demanding creative production workflows. For comparison, FireWire 800 transfers at approximately 84MB/s and USB 2.0 at 37MB/s.

“This isn’t your average thumb drive,” said Larry O’Connor, founder and CEO, OWC. “The pocket-sized Envoy Pro mini delivers full-sized, desktop-class SSD performance and doesn’t slow down with use like competing SSDs. And because it’s both lightweight and rugged, it’s the ultimate go-anywhere storage companion for anyone on the move.“

Envoy Pro mini is available for order in the following configurations and will begin shipping within 7-10 days directly from the company and select retailers.
