The Envoy Pro Elektron may look nice, but it plays rough. The indestructible, pocket-sized Envoy Pro Elektron puts 1011MB/s of personal and work file storage and backup in the palm of your hand––pushing USB-C's bandwidth to the max so you can edit wherever, whenever on any Mac or PC. Edit large format video footage in the field. Play your favorite games and music. Back up that work or classroom project. Whatever your data storage needs, the Envoy Pro Elektron lets you do it all up to twice as fast as other portable SSDs… on a reliable solution that's half the size of your smartphone.

With 8 hot swappable drive bays, OWC ThunderBay 8 offers massive professional-grade storage capacity in a Thunderbolt 3 desktop-sized design. Mix 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch HDDs and/or SSDs in any combination up to 112TB of capacity and use them independently or match drives and combine them in a speed and/or redundant RAID with the included SoftRAID setup and management software.
The world's first Thunderbolt™ 3 certified bus-powered portable storage enclosure that makes for effortless DIY projects.
