OWC 2TB Envoy Pro Elektron USB-C Portable NVMe SSD

I use it as a Time Machine drive for a Mac Studio.

This thing is tiny and feels like solid steel. Amazing! Stuck it to the back of my iMac, and set it up as a boot clone and backup without issues.

This storage device is small and fast and has replaced my LAN back-up storage because of its speed and portablility.

I have moved past the other guys (G-tech, Western Digital, ...) and am sold on OWC. This unit is fast, really sturdy, and works perfectly on macOS and Windows. There are lower-cost external SSDs but I can vouch for the level of technical support I have gotten from OWC. I have had two external units (not the Elektron) go bad and they fix it (or replace) from the USA as urgent care (fast!).

For years Ive relied on RAID drives for my main drive. Decided to go to SSD for my main files (backed up hourly, daily etc etc) and the change in speed of all things is fast fast fast.
