Gets Onboard With Macs And Pcs Today’s office is often a tiny bistro table, your lap in a remote location, or a cramped airplane seat. There’s no power outlet in most modern work locations, and not enough room for an external drive. But wherever you’re booting up to get stuff done, Envoy Express has you covered. Besides being the industry’s first Thunderbolt 3 bus powered enclosure, the Envoy Express is the first to include a removeable slide-mounting system. Uses Today’s And Tomorrow’s Drives Whatever drive you need to work on, the Envoy Express is ready for action. It’s designed to support any NVMe M.2 2280 SSD and gives you the freedom to use any recently made drive — including OWC Aura SSDs with up to 4.0TB capacity.
