FAQs
What is the maximum theoretical speed of the Envoy Pro Elektron?
The Envoy Pro Elektron uses a USB-C 10Gb/s interface, with real-world tests showing speeds up to 1011MB/s. This is close to the theoretical maximum for the interface.
Is the drive compatible with my older USB-A ports?
Yes, it comes with a USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable that includes an adapter, allowing you to connect to older USB-A ports, though speeds will be limited by the USB-A port's capabilities.
Can I edit video files directly from this drive?
Absolutely. Its high speed (up to 1011MB/s) makes it suitable for editing large video files, including 4K footage, directly from the drive.
How does the IP67 rating protect the drive?
The IP67 rating means the drive is dust-tight and can withstand submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. It also adds to its overall ruggedness against environmental factors.
Does the drive require a separate power adapter?
No, the Envoy Pro Elektron is bus-powered, meaning it draws power directly from the USB port it's connected to. No external power adapter is needed.
Can I use this drive with an iPad or Android tablet?
Yes, it is compatible with iPadOS and can work with many Android tablets that support external USB storage via USB-C.
What capacities are available for the Envoy Pro Elektron?
The Envoy Pro Elektron is available in various capacities, including 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB, to suit different storage needs.
Troubleshooting
Drive not recognized by computer
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the drive and the computer. Try a different USB port or a different USB-C cable. If using a USB-A port, ensure the adapter is correctly attached. Restart your computer.
Slow transfer speeds
Verify you are connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gb/s) or faster port for optimal performance. Using older USB ports (e.g., USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 5Gb/s) will result in lower speeds. Ensure the connected device's USB port is functioning correctly.
Drive disconnects intermittently
Check the USB cable for any damage and ensure it's firmly seated. Avoid using unpowered USB hubs if possible, as they can sometimes cause instability. Update your computer's USB and chipset drivers.
Cannot write files to the drive on a new computer
The drive may be formatted for a different operating system (e.g., HFS+ for Mac only). Reformatting the drive (backing up data first) to exFAT or NTFS (for Windows) or APFS/HFS+ (for Mac) will resolve this. For cross-platform compatibility, exFAT is recommended.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional transfer speeds for large files.
- Extremely durable and resistant to dust, water, and crushing.
- Very small and lightweight, making it ideal for travel.
- Wide compatibility with modern and older devices via included cables.
- Supports hardware encryption for enhanced data security.
Cons
- Optimal performance is dependent on USB-C 10Gb/s ports.
- May require separate software (like OWC MacDrive) for seamless cross-platform file management.
- The small size means it can be easy to misplace.
- Reliance on bus power means it cannot be used if the host device's USB port is not powered.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the Envoy Pro Elektron to your computer or tablet using the included USB-C cable.
- If your device has a USB-A port, use the adapter included with the USB-C to USB-A cable.
- The drive should appear automatically in your file explorer or finder. No driver installation is typically required for basic operation.
Compatibility:
- Operating Systems: macOS, Windows, iPadOS, ChromeOS.
- Ports: USB-C (10Gb/s recommended for full speed), Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.0/3.1/3.2.
- Cross-Platform Use: While plug-and-play is supported, for seamless file access between macOS and Windows, consider OWC's MacDrive software (sold separately).
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the aluminum housing with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Environment: While rated IP67, avoid prolonged submersion in water. Operate within the specified temperature range (5-35°C).
- Handling: Although crushproof, handle with care to prevent accidental loss due to its small size.
