The OWC Envoy combines elegance and functionality into a sleek, portable external enclosure for re-purposing the factory flash module from a 2010 - 2012 MacBook Air. Its tapered aluminum body complements the MacBook Air and is easily carried in coat pockets, backpacks or briefcases.
The SuperSpeed USB 3.2 (5Gb/s) interface also works via USB 2.0 connections for maximum compatibility and Envoy requires no AC power adapter making it the ideal Plug and Play USB bus-powered solution.
  1. IMPORTANT: The OWC Envoy enclosure has been specifically designed for use ONLY with the factory SSD from MacBook Air (2010 - 2011) models. Do NOT attempt to install or use an OWC Aura SSD in the Envoy as this may damage the Aura drive, the Envoy enclosure, or both, and damage due to misuse of the enclosure is not covered under warranty. To transfer data from the SSD in the Envoy to the Aura SSD in the computer, please view our OS X & Data Transfer Instructions guide.
