Apple’s new Mac mini with the M4 Pro chip and MacBook Pro models with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips feature support for the faster Thunderbolt 5 specification, and reputable accessory maker OWC is ready with a new external SSD.
Announced in September, OWC’s Envoy Ultra external SSD is compatible with Apple’s latest Macs, and it has Thunderbolt 5 support for advertised data transfer speeds of more than 6GB per second. That is up to double the speeds that OWC’s previous high-end external SSDs with Thunderbolt 3/Thunderbolt 4 support can achieve.
The external SSD has a built-in Thunderbolt 5 cable, and it is powered by the Mac that it is connected to, rather than an external power supply.
Unsurprisingly, these impressive speeds come at a steeper price compared to the average external SSD. OWC is now accepting pre-orders for the Envoy Ultra through its online store in the U.S., with 2TB and 4TB storage capacities available for $399.99 and $599.99, respectively. Orders are estimated to begin shipping in early November.
OWC plans to announce a Thunderbolt 5 dock with an array of ports later in November.
Apple’s new Macs launch on Friday.
