If you have been a Rocket Yard reader for any length of time, you know that this blog has never existed to merely prop up OWC<\/a> or MacSales.com<\/a>. We highly value our role in bringing you a wide variety of expert tips, commentary, reviews, and the latest tech news. However, we do take great pride in who we are and what we do as a company, and as the reviews for the new OWC Envoy Pro EX USB-C<\/a> keep pouring in, we thought we’d engage in a little unapologetic sharing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 25th, OWC announced the release of the Envoy Pro EX USB-C SSD, claiming it was the fastest USB-C SSD ever built and brought to market. Well-respected photographer, computer expert, and software engineer Lloyd Chambers of Mac Performance Guide<\/a> put that claim to the test. Here is what he found…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large Transfer Sustained Performance <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With an average write speed of 1043 MB\/sec and average read speed of 1040 MB\/sec, Chambers says he has never seen performance this high from any<\/em> USB-A or USB-C device before. He was able to continuously write the entire 2TB capacity with almost zero deviation in performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incredible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
