Best SSD For Macs in 2025? OWC Envoy Ultra Thunderbolt 5 SSD Review

In this video, we test the OWC Envoy Ultra, one of the fastest SSDs on the market designed to utilize Thunderbolt 5. We break down the read/write speeds on both Mac Studio and MacBook Air to see how it handles backwards compatibility. While the performance is impressive for M4 Mac users looking to expand their storage, there are significant design choices—specifically regarding the built-in cable—that might make the OWC Express 1M2 a better alternative for some users.
