The OWC / Other World Computing 240GB Mercury Extreme Pro 6G Solid State Drive delivers the highest transfer speed, endurance and performance available today. With sustained reads up to 559MB/s and writes up to 527MB/s, up to 100x greater data protection than enterprise class Hard Disk Drives and RAISE technology for RAID like data protection and reliability.
High Performance Internal Storage
Replace your conventional hard drive with a reliable solid state drive. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, OWC solid state drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness.
High Reliability & Protection
OWC SSDs allocate some of the drive capacity for RAISE, to provide real time data redundancy, ECC Error Correction and reserve cell space.
Improved Battery Life
This drive offers reduced power consumption to extend the battery life of your notebook computer.
DuraWrite
With DuraWrite you can extend the endurance of your solid state drive (SSD).
Intelligent Block Management & Wear Leveling
Automatically distribute data evenly across the entire SSD.
Intelligent Read Disturb Management
Spread the active read/write across the flash components eliminating data corruption caused by constant use.
Intelligent "Recycling"
Intelligent recycling is designed for advanced free space management as it gradually re-writes data across the SSD over time to ensure data never gets corrupted.
RAISE
Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements protects the data on your drive similar to having a RAID setup.
