Other World Computing announced today that it will feature at its NAB 2015 Booth #SL13905 in Las Vegas, April 13-16, the Envoy Pro mini, the stylish, aluminum, pocket-sized thumb drive with the amazing capability of a full-sized desktop-class SSD.
Winner of the 2015 Storage Visions Visionary Product Award, the OWC Envoy Pro mini is now available in 120GB and 240GB capacities (with 480GB coming soon). The new Envoy Pro mini is an indispensable workhorse that brings professional performance, high-capacity storage to life on the move. Unprecedented speed in such a small form-factor makes progress bars and data bottlenecks a thing of the past.
OWC’s new Envoy Pro mini features industry leading controller technologies to deliver outstanding performance and reliability. Aggressive data management keeps Envoy Pro mini working at maximum potential even when full. Hardware error correction yields superior data retention and drive health, and gold-standard compression and data distribution maximizes write performance and drive endurance.
The Envoy Pro mini achieves sustained transfer speeds up to 433MB/s, making it the perfect portable storage solution for demanding creative production workflows. For comparison, FireWire 800 transfers at approximately 84MB/s and USB 2.0 at 37MB/s.
“This isn’t your average thumb drive,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing. “The pocket-sized Envoy Pro mini delivers full-sized, desktop-class SSD performance and doesn’t slow down with use like competing SSDs. And because it’s both lightweight and rugged, it’s the ultimate go-anywhere storage companion for anyone on the move.”

That is useful to generate an icon for it on the Mac Finder. Thanks.
Great. 480GB coming soon… When?
Sounds great!
