Intelligent Block Management & Wear Leveling automatically distributes data evenly across the entire SSD. Intelligent Read Disturb Management spreads the active read/write across the flash components eliminating data corruption caused by constant use. Intelligent " Recycling" for advanced free space management 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. Best-in-Class ECC Protection for longest data retention & drive life. The Envoy offers the perfect companion storage solution for your Mac Book Air Get the ultimate combination of elegance & functionality in a sleek, portable external storage solution designed to complement the Mac Book Air
- in both appearance & performance. Its super-speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 interface is capable of speeds up to 500MB/s to ensure your workflow moves as fast as you do, & is backwards compatible with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0. Its bus-powered design means no AC power adapter is required making it an ideal portable Plug & Play solution – just plug the USB (Universal Serial Bus) cord into your computer & the Envoy is ready to go. Better by Design: " Mean Time To Failure"
- We all know that nothing lasts forever. But that doesnt mean you shouldnt get the most out of your investment. OWC SSD with Dura Write™ Technology, optimizes writes to the flash memory over conventional controllers increasing the overall endurance & reliability of the complete SSD. Highly intelligent block management & wear leveling also extends the overall endurance. With this technology, even MLC-based SSDs can operate for years in demanding use applications without daily write restrictions. This adds up to a MTTF that is higher than most enterprise class hard drives & SSDs on the market today. in addition, as there are no volatile memory elements in this storage device, the need for cache is completely negated. The drive is just that fast from the get-go! OWC SSD Maximum total flash capacity 512GB before 7% overprovisioning with 480GB actual usable capacity compared to Apple 64GB Flash option for 11.1" model. Random 4K write data rates of 57.56 for OWC SSD vs 18.49 for Apple factory stock SSD. Note: The Aura Pro 6G SSD achieves 6G speeds with compatible 2011 Mac Books & 3G speeds with 2010 Mac Books.
