How to Install OWC 2TB Envoy Pro Elektron USB-C (10Gb/s) Portable NVMe SSD
Installing and getting started with the Envoy Pro Elektron is straightforward. Follow these steps to begin using your new portable NVMe drive:
- Identify a USB‑C port on your computer and prepare a USB‑C cable suitable for data transfer. If your system only supports USB‑A, use a compatible USB‑C to USB‑A adapter or cable (as appropriate) to connect the drive.
- Connect the Envoy Pro Elektron to your computer using the USB‑C cable. The drive should power on automatically and appear in your operating system’s file browser (Disk Utility on macOS, Disk Management or This PC on Windows).
- If the drive does not appear, try a different USB port, a different cable, or restart your computer. In some cases, the drive may require formatting before use.
- Format the drive to a file system that suits your workflow. For cross‑platform use (Windows and macOS), exFAT is a common choice. For macOS‑only use, APFS or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) are typical options; for Windows‑only use, NTFS is common. Be aware that formatting will erase all data on the drive, so back up any existing content first.
- Once formatted, you can start transferring files. Remember to eject the drive safely before unplugging it to protect data integrity.
