Which envoy do you have? I have the newer one (i.e., Envoy PRO FX), and it is based on Titan ridge... and it hot plugs just fine to the z690 Formula, and does not disconnect during sleep. I bought the cheapest one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YMYM4KB/?tag=tonymacx86com-20) and got rid of the internal drive, swapped it out for a SN850 beast, but you need I believe a pentelobe screw driver bit to do so.Thunderbolt question with the z690 proart. I recently got a OWC Envoy Express to use with my M1 14" MBP. This is really my first modern Thunderbolt device. It won't hot plug on the Z690, and, when the computer sleeps, it disconnects the Envoy without ejecting it. Real bummer to have to reboot every time I want to use it and keep sleep disabled.
I've seen some messages from @gandem @dehjomz mentioning the hot plug issue but I haven't seen anything about the eject. Is this expected? I had USB get ejected on my z390 designare until I set memory to 2666, so I'm wondering if there is something BIOS that might help. I'm running XMP. USB 3.x NVMe enclosures don't get ejected.
Also, long time lurker but first post. Thanks to everyone!
Edit: I'm having issues getting my Z690 added to my signature or profile, here it is until I get that resolved: Asus Z690 ProArt Creator | i7-12700K | Radeon RX 6900 XT FE 16GB
Another good enclosure that works well with Maple Ridge is from Acasis (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BB74BQVN/?tag=tonymacx86com-20).
Here's the spec sheet for the Envoy Pro FX: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TB3ENVPFX.2O/#specs
Note the Titan Ridge controller inside for TB3 purposes, and it also has a Realtek RTL9210 USB controller for when you use it with a non-TB3 port.
