Envoy Pro EX with Thunderbolt 3 looks amazing. Does it use a single SSD or several in RAID? It would be fantastic if it is not RAID.
Regarding the “OWC Dec.” Either bring it out or stop the advertising. It is as if you are gauging interest in the product but will only produce it if there is demand. Or, is Apple stopping you from producing it?
IMHO
Um, is this post supposed to be here?
Is Thunderbay 4 (2017) Edition going to be a thunderbolt 3 device or only thunderbolt 2 ?
Still only four drives ?
Is SoftRAID 6 on the horizon ?
Great. Bring large (8TB and larger) portable and desktop SSD to boot Mac and work from it all day long. No RAID inside, please.
Enough with the teasing the DEC just sell the dang thing.
