Other World Computing (OWC) has announced the release of its Envoy Ultra 
Thunderbolt 5 SSD, available for pre-order now. 

This new SSD is designed to take full advantage of Thunderbolt 5, offering 
speeds that exceed 6000MB/s, which the company claims will make it up to 
twice as fast as Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 drives. 

The Envoy Ultra Thunderbolt 5 SSD is built to work with a variety of devices, 
including PCs, Macs, iPad Pros, Chromebooks, and Surface devices. It supports 
Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 3 and 4, and USB4. The SSD is also built for 
durability, featuring water-resistant, dust-resistant, and crushproof 
protection, which makes it suitable for users in need of reliable external 
storage in harsh conditions. Available in 2 and 4TB capacities 

In addition to its durability, the Envoy Ultra SSD features a fanless, 
heat-dissipating aluminum design, allowing it to operate silently while 
remaining cool. The drive is bus-powered, meaning no additional power supply 
is required, and it includes a built-in Thunderbolt cable for easy 
connectivity. 

"Intel's innovative Thunderbolt 5 technology sets a new standard for 
performance and simple connectivity, and OWCs Envoy Ultra SSD is a perfect 
example of how this technology can be harnessed to meet the needs of todays 
most demanding users, said Larry OConnor, OWCs Founder and CEO. OWC continues 
to push the boundaries of whats possible, delivering a solution that not only 
leverages the full potential of Thunderbolt 5 but also opens up new 
possibilities for professionals and creatives alike." 

Intels Vice President and General Manager of Client Connectivity Division, 
Jason Ziller, added:  "Intel is excited to see OWC utilize Thunderbolt 5 
technology with their new Envoy Ultra SSD,  pushing the limits of data 
transfer speed and versatility. This product  exemplifies how Thunderbolt 5 
technology can empower users to tackle  even the most demanding tasks with 
ease and efficiency." 

The OWC Envoy Ultra Thunderbolt 5 SSD will be available in two capacities: 
2TB for $399.99 and 4TB for $599.99. Pre-orders are now open , with shipments
