Inside the Envoy Pro EX resides a SandForce Driven\u2122 OWC Aura\u00ae<\/sup> Pro 6G SSD which offers real world sustained reads up to 436MB\/s and writes up to 429MB\/s. Besides offering blistering fast performance, the USB 3.0 interface can bus-power the Envoy Pro EX so an AC power adapter isn\u2019t required. <\/p>\n
Aura Pro SSDs utilize Tier-1 Synchronous NAND instead of commonly utilized Asynchronous NAND. Synchronous NAND enables reads and writes to be \u201csynced\u201d with the SSD processor’s clock signal for maximum data throughput. Additionally, the Aura Pro SSD utilizes DuraWrite\u2122 Technology and highly intelligent block management to ensure the highest obtainable endurance and reliability. As a result, the Envoy Pro EX can offer up to 100x greater protection of your valuable data than even an Enterprise class hard drive. <\/p>\n
The Envoy Pro EX combines elegance and functionality into a sleek, yet rugged portable storage solution. It\u2019s so impressive in form and function that it inspired Jim Tanous of The Mac Observer<\/i> to proclaim it \u201cabsolutely beautiful and on par with the best that has come out of Jony Ive\u2019s (SVP of Industrial Design at Apple) labs.\u201d <\/p>\n
