OWC Mercury Aura Pro (480GB) Internal Solid State Drive for (2012 - 2013 Edition) OWCSSDAP12R480

Product Description

1. Once again, OWC provides Mac users the only upgrade solution that delivers higher performance, functionality, and reliability! When first introduced, the MacBook Pro with Retina display base model offered a 256GB SSD configuration with no upgrade option. And current base models start from 128GB to 256GB. Now, instead of being factory locked, the OWC Aura Pro 6G gives you the freedom to upgrade your capacity to meet your storage needs. Just like other OWC upgrades, we include the installation tools you need plus a free how-to video to make this an easy and money-saving DIY upgrade. To achieve the higher bandwidth potential of the SATA 6Gb/s bus standard, the OWC Aura Pro 6G SSDs utilize Tier-1 Synchronous NAND instead of commonly utilized Asynchronous NAND. Synchronous NAND enables reads and writes to be synced with the SSD processors clock signal for maximum data throughput. The OWC Envoy Pro combines elegance and functionality into a sleek, portable external storage solution that complements the design and finish of the MacBook Pro with Retina display. Its anodized aluminium body protects your drive and data, while its minimal size allows for simple stowing in coat pockets, backpacks or briefcases. The USB 3.0 interface offers speedy transfer rates of up to 500MB/s and the Envoy Pro requires no AC power. Mean Time To Failure - We all know that nothing lasts forever. But that doesn mean you shouldn get the most out of your investment. OWC SSD with DuraWrite Technology, optimizes writes to the flash memory over conventional controllers increasing the overall endurance and reliability of the complete SSD. Highly intelligent block management and wear leveling also extends the overall endurance. This adds up to a MTTF that is higher than most SSDs and enterprise class hard drives on the market today.NOTE: Image for Illustration Purposes Only DuraWrite extends the endurance of your Solid State Drive (SSD)Intelligent Block Management and Wear Levelling automatically distributes data evenly across the entire SSDIntelligent Read Disturb Management spreads the active read/write across the flash components eliminating data corruption caused by constant useIntelligent Recycling for advanced free space management gradually re-writes data across the SSD over time to ensure data never gets corruptedRAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) protects the data on your drive similar to having a RAID setupBest-in-Class ECC Protection for longest data retention and drive life
