Full-Sized SSD Performance That Fits in Your Pocket

The Ultimate ‘Works with Everything’ Pocket-Sized SSD

You spoke. We listened. From everyday users, business road warriors, seasoned tech reviewers, to pro content creators, we heard loud and clear the Envoy Pro mini was dearly missed. Everyone loved how easy it was to take, access, save, and share their data anywhere, anytime. Not wanting to create just an update, we knew we had to infuse a successor with serious innovation worthy of its revered name and your go anywhere, multi-platform storage needs. After undergoing intensive development culminating with a patent-pending design, it is our great pleasure to unveil the latest Envoy Pro mini as the ultimate works with everything pocket-sized SSD.

Looks Can Be Deceiving
Don’t be deceived, the Envoy Pro mini is no ordinary thumb drive or USB flash drive. Nestled underneath its machined aluminum heat-dissipating housing is the same top-tier componentry and advanced flash technology found in our desktop SSDs. This slips into small, tight pockets drive is a full-fledged high-performance SSD that delivers the performance, reliability, and longevity that has made OWC the SSD leader since 2010.

Boot, Backup, Beats and Blockbusters
Launch your OS and apps on a remote machine. Backup important data, a business presentation, or classroom project. Capture some sweet drumbeats in a 24-track session or rock the beat from your DJ deck. Watch a blockbuster movie on a Smart TV. Whatever your data desire, the Envoy Pro mini lets you do it all:

• Store photos, videos, movies, music, and documents
• Consolidate files from multiple smaller drives for faster, more convenient access
• Migrate data from an existing machine to a new computer
• Free up space on a computer's internal drive to improve performance
• Schedule Time Machine or File History backups of important business data and irreplaceable personal photos
• Create a secondary/portable OS boot drive
• Explore, share and travel with large Affinity Photo and Adobe Photoshop master files
• Record tracks on a multitrack mixer
• Utilize large sample libraries within audio projects
• Create a portable Steam games library
• Expand game storage of console gaming systems

Wear and Share
When working or traveling, getting weighed down by your tech gear is a real drag. The under 1 ounce (lighter than a pack of gum!) Envoy Pro mini can be worn around your neck with the safety breakaway lanyard so it’s always at fingertip reach. The lanyard also features a detachable end for easy drive sharing between devices and handing off to others in the office or studio like a digital ‘storage baton’.

“Details matter… it’s worth waiting to get it right.”
That famous quote by Steve Jobs is a philosophy that’s been in practice at OWC since day one. While creating the “right” Envoy Pro mini, we spent countless hours obsessing over the smallest details…because they matter. The USB-C connector cap is tethered to the housing so you will never misplace or lose it. The seemingly simple neck lanyard mentioned above? It incorporates a safety breakaway, so if it accidentally catches on something, it will detach harmlessly. Perhaps most importantly, the Envoy Pro mini’s big speed and capacity don’t make it a space hog. When you plug it in, this sleek little powerhouse keeps adjacent ports free for use.

Reads and Writes Mac and Win Files
Using the Envoy Pro mini in a mixed Mac and Windows environment is remarkably easy with the addition of OWC’s MacDrive (sold separately). This seamless software runs in the background, so there’s nothing to launch or learn. Just plug in the Envoy Pro mini and not only do you have instant read access, but full write access too! MacDrive also includes powerful features that enable you to format and partition drives as well as repair basic disk issues.

Saves the Gaming Day
As a console gamer, you know you can never have enough storage space. Spend more time going for the win and less time worrying about storage limits with the Envoy Pro mini expanding the capacity of your PlayStation or Xbox console. Run backwards compatible PS4 and Xbox One games directly from the Envoy Pro mini to maximize your new console’s precious internal storage for the latest titles. You can also store PS5 and Xbox Series X/S games on the Envoy Pro mini and transfer them faster than re-downloading to your console when you want to get your game on.

Your Digital Life…Protected for FREE
Backing up and protecting your data is critically important. But all too often it’s a task that falls to the bottom of the “to do” list, and you don’t realize it until it is too late. That’s why OWC has partnered with Acronis to give you 1 full year of the #1 personal backup and antivirus software to integrate into your workflow.
Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office safeguards you from today’s data threats—from accidents to failures to attacks. With easy, intuitive backup and Ai-enhanced antimalware technology, your digital life is protected—photos, files, applications, systems, and the devices they are on.

• Complete Backup and Fast Recovery: quickly restore your files or entire system at any time
• Easy Disk Cloning and Full Image Backup: just two clicks to start a full disk image backup
• Cloud, Local or Hybrid Cloud: back up locally, to the cloud, or both. It’s your choice

Store from Minutes to Millions
All the features and “technospeak” of an external drive don’t mean a thing if you don’t know how much of a particular file type it can hold. For every 1TB of your OWC drive capacity, you can store up to any of the following:

• 250,000 photos
• 250,000 standard quality songs
• 38,000 high quality songs
• 200 high-definition movies
