HIGH-PERFORMANCE SSDS can be a gamble, involving unknown brands, suspect speed claims, and varying build quality. Stick to certified Thunderbolt and you won't see its headline 40 Gbps, or roll the dice with whatever USB4 might deliver. OWC offers Envoy Pro SSDs delivering up to 2.8 GB/s over Thunderbolt 3, but its Envoy Express enclosure achieves half that, hence its new Express 1M2.
