OWC Launches Portable SSD with USB 3.0 Interface

Other World Computing announced
the Envoy Pro EX portable SSD solution.

Designed in anodized aluminum to match Macs and PCs, it
fits into a coat pocket, backpack, or briefcase for mobile performance storage and/or backup capacity.

USB 3.0 Bus-Powered SSD
Inside resides a SandForce Driven OWC
Aura Pro 6G SSD which offers reads up to 436MB/s and writes up
to 429MB/s. Besides offering fast performance, the USB 3.0 interface
can bus-power the disk so an AC power adapter isn’t required.

Built To Start Fast and Stay Fast
Aura Pro SSDs utilize Tier-1 synchronous NAND instead of commonly
utilized asynchronous NAND. It enables reads and writes to be
‘synced’ with the SSD processor’s clock signal for maximum data
throughput. The SSD utilizes DuraWrite technology and block
management to ensure the highest obtainable endurance and
reliability. As a result, the Envoy Pro EX can offer up to 100x
greater protection of your data than even an enterprise class hard
drive.

labs."

"We’re very excited to add the ultra-portable Envoy Pro EX
to our storage solution lineup," said Larry O’Connor, founder and CEO, OWC. "Its functionality
combined with its rugged, yet aesthetically pleasing aluminum design
make the Envoy Pro EX a beautiful addition to any system."
