Certified Tough 
The Envoy Pro FX serves up flexible uses in Xtreme environments. Its sleek, heat dissipating aluminum housing is IP67 rated, so you can work in the dirtiest and wettest environments. Take on the urban jungle or a chaotic movie set with supreme confidence that your data is protected by MIL-STD810G certified military-level drop toughness. This drive is so tough that we sent it into space aboard the Blue Origin New Shepard rocket! Whether you’re dropping it in a puddle or suspending it in zero G, the Envoy Pro FX has all the right stuff.

The Truth Makes The Difference
Big theoretical performance numbers are certainly eye-catchers… but they rarely reflect real-world performance. That’s why we take the extra time to run OWC storage solutions through intensive performance testing. We truthfully list the Envoy Pro FX’s 2711MB/s1 real-world test results as part of our commitment to the “OWC Difference,” so you can rest assured that the Envoy Pro FX can handle even your most demanding needs.

Form Meets Function 
The deeply grooved fins on the Envoy Pro FX’s charcoal grey aluminum chassis aren’t just there to make it pretty. They turn the entire enclosure into a highly effective heat sink for maximum heat dissipation and performance. Even after prolonged top speed file transfers, the silent Envoy Pro FX remains reliably cool.

Lock It Up
