OWC has long been a major player, and while they are known for their premium Apple upgrade solutions, they are often first to market with the latest in storage technology. Coming off the launch of their Envoy Pro EX with Thunderbolt 3 technology, OWC has redesigned Envoy to take full advantage of USB-C.

The Envoy Pro EX has a long lineage of solutions that started with USB 3.0 a few years back. More recently these solutions have been upgraded to offer Thunderbolt 3 with a black colorway, but the most recent release takes advantage of the original aluminum enclosure. This solution has been paired with an NVMe SSD offered in several capacities including 250 and 500GB along with 1 and 2TB. Performance is spec'd up to 980 MB/s using Gen 2 USB 3.1
