The about $1698 OWC Envoy Pro EX Thunderbolt 3 2TB SSD is a bus-powered travel friendly SSD with very high performance.
Key differentiating factors from its OWC Thunderblade 4 SSD sibling:
- The OWC Envoy Pro EX operates on bus power—no need to plug in a “wall wart”. This has the downside that must be the last device in a Thunderbolt chain, but it’s a much friendlier approach for travel with a laptop.
- The OWC Envoy Pro EX is very fast, but it is not the no-holds-barred performer that its OWC Thunderblade 4 sibling is, particularly for writes.
- Substantially smaller and lighter than its OWC Thunderblade 4 sibling; can fit into large pocket, though it is not svelte as with its Envoy Pro EX cousin.
- Claimed speed of 2600 MB/sec reads, 1600 MB/sec writes.
Most users will find the three above factors compelling if any sort of travel is involved.
