  • hi
    i just got the 2TB sx version, thanks! wonderful

    it is advertised as USB4.
    shipped with a TB3 cable, and no USB4 cable.
    how can i understand this? maybe tb3 cable is the same as USB4 cable, technically inside?
    just worried, as there are so much different usb-c cables
    thanks!

  • hi
    could you please add more details to the product page?
    – which thunderbolt version, 3 or 4?
    – if it is TB3, why add a TB4 cable?
    – it is compatible with macbookpro 16″ from 2019?
    – it is compatible with the original “Apple Thunderbolt-3-to-Thunderbolt-2” Adapter?

    thanks!

  • Is this compatible with the new M1 2021 iPad Pros? Also how about the 2018 iPad Pros? Thank you in advance.

  • Morning,

    What is the difference between the Envoy Pro FX and the SX? I currently own the FX and really love it.

    Thanks,

    Joe

  • It also says on MacSales that it includes a Thunderbolt 3 cable. Why not a 4?

    • I had to look into this for you. It looks as though when the product was originally planned, our TB4 cables were not yet ready for sale. They will soon be switching this product to include a TB4 cable. Having said that, at the length this cable is, it is identical to TB4. (TB3 cables are only different at greater lengths where they need to be active. All TB4 cables are passive).

  • In this post, you state it has a ‘5 year OWC Warranty’…..going to the link on MacSales it says 3…which is it ?

    • Thanks for catching that, Jim! MacSales is correct at 3 years – not sure how it got transcribed incorrectly here, but I will update the post.
