Does it come with necessary cables?

Troubleshooting

Drive not recognized by the computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the drive and the computer. Try a different USB port. If using a USB hub, connect directly to the computer. Restart your computer and try again. Ensure your operating system is up to date.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify you are using a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gb/s) or faster port on your computer for maximum speed. Ensure the connected cable is the original OWC USB-C cable or a certified high-speed USB-C cable. Close unnecessary applications running in the background on your computer.

Drive disconnects intermittently

Check the USB cable for damage and ensure a firm connection. Try a different USB port. Some power-saving settings on a computer might cause disconnection; check your system's power management settings.

Cannot write files to the drive (Mac)

The drive may be formatted in a Windows-only format (like NTFS). Reformat the drive using macOS Disk Utility (HFS+ or APFS) for full Mac compatibility. Note that reformatting erases all data.

Cannot write files to the drive (Windows)

The drive may be formatted for Mac (HFS+/APFS). If you need to use it with Windows exclusively, reformat it using Windows Disk Management (NTFS or exFAT). Note that reformatting erases all data. For cross-platform compatibility without reformatting, consider OWC's MacDrive software.

  1. Connect the included USB Type-C cable to the Envoy Pro Elektron.

Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

  • Keep the drive clean. Use a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Protect the connectors from dust and debris. Ensure the USB-C port is clean before plugging in the cable.
  • Avoid exposing the drive to extreme temperatures outside its operating range (5°C to 35°C).
