OWC®, a leading customer-focused creator of innovative solutions for over 30 years that have enabled individuals, businesses, content professionals, and educators to get maximum usefulness from their technology investment, today introduced the OWC Envoy Pro mini.

The OWC Envoy Pro mini is a pocket-sized SSD with full-sized SSD performance and capacity for audio, photography, graphics, gaming, and general data storage/backup uses. Now, everyday users, students, mobile professionals, IT techs, and content creators can take, access, save, and share their data anywhere. The OWC Envoy Pro mini works with USB and Thunderbolt (USB-C) Macs, PCs, iPads, Chromebooks, Android tablets, and Surface devices made over the last 15 years. Available in 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB capacities and can access and transfer data with everything at up to 946MB/s real-world speed with Plug and Play ease.

Boot, Backup, Beats, and Blockbusters
Launch your OS and apps on a remote machine. Back up important data, a business presentation, or a classroom project. Capture some sweet drumbeats in a 24-track session or tracks from your DJ deck. Watch a blockbuster movie on a Smart TV 2, 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
• Fee up space on a computer's internal drive to improve performance
• Schedule Time Machine or File History backups of essential 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

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 is 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. MacDrive also includes powerful features that enable you to format and partition drives and repair fundamental disk issues.
