The OWC 500GB Envoy Pro mini USB-C and USB-A portable NVMe SSD is a compact powerhouse built for creators, professionals, and on‑the‑go movers who refuse to let slow storage slow their flow. Engineered with a high‑performance NVMe SSD inside a rugged, thermally optimized aluminum enclosure, this diminutive drive delivers true 10Gb/s transfer speeds across both USB‑C and USB‑A connections. Its dual‑interface design means you can plug into modern laptops with USB‑C, or leverage legacy USB‑A ports with confidence, making it an exceptionally versatile companion for editors, photographers, filmmakers, gamers, and IT specialists who demand speed, reliability, and portability in one sleek package. Whether you’re backing up a shoot, editing 4K footage on site, or simply expanding your portable workspace, the Envoy Pro mini is ready to perform without requiring bulky power adapters or drivers. Seamless compatibility, a silent thermal‑friendly design, and a durable metal chassis combine to create a portable SSD that fits easily in a jacket pocket or camera bag while handling demanding workloads with ease.
- Blazing NVMe performance with USB-C/USB-A flexibility: The Envoy Pro mini leverages a fast NVMe SSD inside a compact enclosure and delivers robust, sustained transfer speeds over USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps). This makes high‑bit‑rate media transfers, rapid backups, and on‑the‑go editing feel instant. With the USB‑C interface, you can take full advantage of modern laptops and desktops, while the included USB‑A compatibility ensures that older systems aren’t left behind. The result is a portable drive that behaves like internal storage during heavy workloads, enabling smooth 4K timelines, multi‑hour backups, and rapid data migration without bottlenecks.

This means you don’t need to swap devices or carry multiple drives for different hosts. It’s ideal for photographers, videographers, and creative professionals who work across a range of laptops, desktops, and OS environments. No driver installations are typically required; simply plug in and start transferring, formatting to your preferred file system if necessary.
- Compact, rugged, and thermally optimized enclosure: Size matters when you’re on location, and the Envoy Pro mini doesn’t waste a gram. Its all‑metal chassis acts as a natural heatsink, helping to dissipate heat during long transfers and extended workloads. The durable, sleek block is designed to withstand the rigors of field use—slim enough to slip into a pocket, yet strong enough to survive the occasional bump in a bag or backpack. A silent, fanless design means there are no moving parts to attract dust or create noise during critical editing or quiet studio sessions.

Its 500GB capacity provides a generous buffer for RAW photo libraries, multi‑camera video projects, and portable app suites.

The drive supports seamless file transfers, quick backups, and secure archiving, making it a reliable backbone for mobile editing suites.
- Ideal for on‑set, travel, and everyday backups: This portable NVMe SSD is an excellent companion for fieldwork and travel. It’s small enough to ride along with your camera gear, CPU‑heavy editing laptops, and media libraries, while its dependable performance ensures that large shoots can be backed up quickly and securely. Photographers and videographers appreciate the ability to offload footage directly to high‑speed storage, then review or edit on the go.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum!
Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle.
One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed.
However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience.
Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age.
However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate.
The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series.
Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it.
Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.
