Boot, Launch, Create, & Save Faster With its simultaneous internal & external storage performance, the Mercury Accelsior_E2 offers the the best combination of speed, capacity, & connectivity available today. Stop waiting for I/O-intensive apps like Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Pro Tools to render, capture or process. Start working faster with near instantaneous boots & app launches. & save your work faster than ever before. The Accelsior_E2 utilizes the PCIe slot in Mac Pros & PC towers, the fastest data interface available, to deliver up to 820MB/s of blistering perfomance. Thats nearly 3x faster than an SSD equipped Mac Pro 3 Gb/s drive bay, & well beyond 6 Gb/s drive speeds. When your work is completed, transfer it for backup or archival purposes at speeds up to 600MB/s via the two e SATA expansion ports to any external storage device with an e SATA port. Boost Entry-Level Server & Gaming In addition to video-editing & multimedia creation / management deployment, the Accelsior_E2 takes entry-level servers & even gaming to entirely new levels of performance. With up to 100, 000 IOPS, business-critical applications like online transaction processing databases are given an instant boost. For gamers, Accelsior_E2s speed dramatically reduces game level-loading, object streaming, & save times for more playing & less waiting. & Laptops, Mac mini, & i Mac Too... The Accelsior_E2 isnt just for desktop computing. With an external PCIe expansion chassis, you can enjoy the Accelsior_E2s performance benefits with any Thunderbolt port equipped Mac or PC. Efficient, Reliable, & Upgradeable SSD Blades Accelsior_E2s Sand Force Driven™ SSD blades provide a more responsive & productive computing experience with cooler, quieter, & more energy efficient operation compared to standard hard drives. Sand Force RAISE™ technology provides RAID-like data redundancy protection & reliability. & with the future introduction of higher capacity Mercury Accelsior SSD blades, youll be able to meet expanding storage needs while extending the useful life of your investment. Easy-to-Install, Robust, & U.S. Built Accelsior is as easy-to-install as memory a upgrade, yet robust enough to handle the rigors of pro environments. This game-changing, high-performance upgrade comes backed by a three-year warranty, & is designed & built in the U.S. from domestic & imported parts. Note about compatibility & throughput:• Compatibility: &9702; Compatible with all e SATA equipped storage solutions. •PC Throughput: &9702;PCIe 2.0 x 4 slot or better is required. Use of a PCIe 1.0 x 4 slot will reduce performance. • Mac Pro Throughput:2009–2010 Mac Pro. Installing Accelsior into any open x 4 or x 16 PCIe 2.0 slot will deliver full throughput up to 785MB/s. &9702;2008 Mac Pro. These models have two x 16 PCIe 2.0 slots, which enable Acceslsior_E2 to deliver full throughput up to 785MB/s. Installing Accelsior_E2 into of the two x 4 PCIe 1.0 slots will result in Accelsior_E2 being addressed as a gen one, one-lane card with performance limited to real world 190-200MB/s data rates. &9702;2006–2007 Mac Pro. These models utilize PCIe 1.0 slot which cannot be configured (even with the Expansion Utility in OS X) to address Accelsior_E2 as anything but as a first generation one-lane card. As a result, Accelsior_E2 performance will be limited to 190-200MB/s data rates. If maximum data rate speed up to 285MB/s is desired, we recommend the installation of a 2.5" OWC Mercury SSD in an open Mac Pro drive bay. •e SATA Expansion Ports: Compatible with all e SATA equipped storage solutions.* * Requires 6 Gb/s certified cables for connecting to e SATA drives
- available separately. Not compatible with port-multiplier enclosures. The e SATA ports do not support hot-swapping. Accelsior_E2 e SATA ports are bootable.&9702;A sleep conflict may be encountered when using certain e SATA chipsets via the e SATA ports when booted to the Accelsior_E2. See the specifications tab for affected solutions where System Sleep mode MUST be disabled in order to ensure reliable operation. Allowing system sleep to occur while one of the affected external drives is connected via the Accelsior_E2 e SATA ports could result in loss of data following wake from sleep. Although the above are our general recommendations for use, wake from sleep has been determined to only be an issue when the Accelsior PCIe is used for startup (SSD or e SATA connected device). We are working with our partners to see that the sleep/wake function is fully supported with all solutions & startup scenarios. • Dual Card Use/ Booting: Dual Accelsior_E2 Usage. The use of two or more Accelsior_E2 SSDs requires OS X 10.6.8 or later. &9702; Bootcamp. 2008 Mac Pro (with model ID Mac Pro 3, 1) only supported in PCIe slots 3 & 4. All models: To boot Windows via Bootcamp on Accelsior_E2, only one Accelsior_E2 SSD can be installed. &9702;2006–2008 Mac Pro (with model ID Mac Pro 1, 1; Mac Pro 2, 1; Mac Pro 3, 1). Due to an Apple limitation, any volume located on a Mercury Accelsior_E2 SSD will not appear in the "option boot" menu.

OWC 240GB Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express SSD The PCIe SSD drive built for the most demanding needs of video editing & creative professionals. Boot, Launch, Create, & Save Faster With its simultaneous internal & external storage performance, the Mercury Accelsior_E2 offers the the best combination of speed, capacity, & connectivity available today. Stop waiting for I/O-intensive apps like Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Pro Tools to render, capture or process. Start working faster with near instantaneous boots & app launches. & save your work faster than ever before. The Accelsior_E2 utilizes the PCIe slot in Mac Pros & PC towers, the fastest data interface available, to deliver up to 820MB/s of blistering perfomance. Thats nearly 3x faster than an SSD equipped Mac Pro 3 Gb/s drive bay, & well beyond 6 Gb/s drive speeds. When your work is completed, transfer it for backup or archival purposes at speeds up to 600MB/s via the two e SATA expansion ports to any external storage device with an e SATA port. Boost Entry-Level Server & Gaming In addition to video-editing & multimedia creation / management deployment, the Accelsior_E2 takes entry-level servers & even gaming to entirely new levels of performance. With up to 100, 000 IOPS, business-critical applications like online transaction processing databases are given an instant boost. For gamers, Accelsior_E2s speed dramatically reduces game level-loading, object streaming, & save times for more playing & less waiting. & Laptops, Mac mini, & i Mac Too... The Accelsior_E2 isnt just for desktop computing. With an external PCIe expansion chassis, you can enjoy the Accelsior_E2s performance benefits with any Thunderbolt port equipped Mac or PC. Efficient, Reliable, & Upgradeable SSD Blades Accelsior_E2s Sand Force Drive SSD blades provide a more responsive & productive computing experience with cooler, quieter, & more energy efficient operation compared to standard hard drives. Sand Force RAISE™ technology provides RAID-like data redundancy protection & reliability. & with the future introduction of higher capacity Mercury Accelsior SSD blades, youll be able to meet expanding storage needs while extending the useful life of your investment. Easy-to-Install, Robust, & U.S. Built Accelsior is as easy-to-install as memory a upgrade, yet robust enough to handle the rigors of pro environments. This game-changing, high-performance upgrade comes backed by a three-year warranty, & is designed & built in the U.S. from domestic & imported parts. Note about compatibility & throughput:• Compatibility: &9702; Compatible with all e SATA equipped storage solutions. •PC Throughput: &9702;PCIe 2.0 x 4 slot or better is required. Use of a PCIe 1.0 x 4 slot will reduce performance. • Mac Pro Throughput: &9702;2009–2010 Mac Pro. Installing Accelsior into any open x 4 or x 16 PCIe 2.0 slot will deliver full throughput up to 785MB/s. 2008 Mac Pro. These models have two x 16 PCIe 2.0 slots, which enable Acceslsior_E2 to deliver full throughput up to 785MB/s. Installing Accelsior_E2 into of the two x 4 PCIe 1.0 slots will result in Accelsior_E2 being addressed as a gen one, one-lane card with performance limited to real world 190-200MB/s data rates. 2006–2007 Mac Pro. These models utilize PCIe 1.0 slot which cannot be configured (even with the Expansion Utility in OS X) to address Accelsior_E2 as anything but as a first generation one-lane card. As a result, Accelsior_E2 performance will be limited to 190-200MB/s data rates. If maximum data rate speed up to 285MB/s is desired, we recommend the installation of a 2.5" OWC Mercury SSD in an open Mac Pro drive bay. •e SATA Expansion Ports: &9702; Compatible with all e SATA equipped storage solutions.* * Requires 6 Gb/s certified cables for connecting to e SATA drives
- available separately. Not compatible with port-multiplier enclosures. The e SATA ports do not support hot-swapping. Accelsior_E2 e SATA ports are bootable.&9702;A sleep conflict may be encountered when using certain e SATA chipsets via the e SATA ports when booted to the Accelsior_E2. See the specifications tab for affected solutions where System Sleep mode MUST be disabled in order to ensure reliable operation. Allowing system sleep to occur while one of the affected external drives is connected via the Accelsior_E2 e SATA ports could result in loss of data following wake from sleep. Although the above are our general recommendations for use, wake from sleep has been determined to only be an issue when the Accelsior PCIe is used for startup (SSD or e SATA connected device). We are working with our partners to see that the sleep/wake function is fully supported with all solutions & startup scenarios. • Dual Card Use/ Booting: &9702; Dual Accelsior_E2 Usage. The use of two or more Accelsior_E2 SSDs requires OS X 10.6.8 or later. Bootcamp. 2008 Mac Pro (with model ID Mac Pro 3, 1) only supported in PCIe slots 3 & 4. All models: To boot Windows via Bootcamp on Accelsior_E2, only one Accelsior_E2 SSD can be installed. 2006–2008 Mac Pro (with model ID Mac Pro 1, 1; Mac Pro 2, 1; Mac Pro 3, 1). Due to an Apple limitation, any volume located on a Mercury Accelsior_E2 SSD will not appear in the "option boot" menu. A volume installed on an Accelsior_E2 can be set as the Mac Pros boot volume through the " Startup Disk" pane in System Preferences. 240GB Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express SSD Specifications: Specifications: Controller

- see compatibility tab for details. Accelsior may be used with Bootcamp only if the entire formatted capacity of the Accelsior model is completely dedicated to the Windows partition. A sleep conflict may be encountered when using certain e SATA chipsets via the e SATA ports when booted to the Accelsior_E2. See the specifications tab for affected solutions where System Sleep mode MUST be disabled in order to ensure reliable operation. Allowing system sleep to occur while one of the affected external drives is connected via the Accelsior_E2 e SATA ports could result in loss of data following wake from sleep. Although the above are our general recommendations for use, wake from sleep has been determined to only be an issue when the Accelsior PCIe is used for startup (SSD or e SATA connected device). We are working with our partners to see that the sleep/wake function is fully supported with all solutions & startup scenarios. Driver ensures proper power-down of Accelsior during sleep & shutdown actions, this driver does not interact with the data operation & ensures that OS X provides proper power down notification to the Accelsior where without the driver such notification may not occur. •OWC Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCIe Card • Two OWC Mercury Accelsior SSD blades • Requires 6 Gb/s certified cables for connecting to e SATA drives
