That’s good information to know, thanks. And it is a very good point. I was thinking too much about short term (connecting to Intel Mac right now), instead of the future (connecting to a Mac Studio, probably next year). And it doesn’t really matter if a ASM2464PD drive is slower than the Envoy Express, because I still have the Express. I could just keep using it as the primary, and make the new drive the backup, until I get the new Mac.
But I’m wondering what the price and specs will be on the just-announced OWC Envoy Ultra Thunderbolt 5 drive. I amazed that people would pre-order it blind, with no specifications at all.
