One of the coolest new products at the last NAMM Show was OWC's Envoy Pro Elektron portable SSD drive that is powered by AURA advanced NVMe technology.
This tiny pocket-size USB C 3.2 Gen 2 drive has up to 10GB/sec throughput speed and is crushproof, dustproof and waterproof rated to IP67. It uses an aluminum housing that dissipates heat, plus there is a blinking blue LED on the front to indicate power/activity!
It comes with a USB C cable with a Type A adapter and makes it the perfect travel drive to carry from studio to studio or transfer from a laptop to the main studio rig as I use it for all the time!
My review sample was a full 1TB size and it is about twice as fast as other portable drives; it makes no sound at all making it perfect for recording studio use.
I cloned my system drive with the Envoy and make it bootable and that is a great use too because it is so small I carry it on business trips as a backup insurance policy. The Envoy Pro Elektron comes in 240GB, 480GB, or 1TB or 2.0TB sizes. The 1.0TB size is $199 MSRP and all are backed by a three-year limited warranty.
