Drive

Product Description

Mercury Electra 240GB 6G SSD 2.5" Serial-ATA 9.5mm Solid State Drive When only the fastest & most reliable Solid State Drive on the market today will suffice for your data storage & backup, look no further than the OWC 240GB Mercury Electra 6G SSD. The Mercury SSD line features industry leading Sand Force Dura Class Technologies: Dura Write extends the endurance of your Solid State Drive (SSD). 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. This internal 2.5" SATA SSD uses the latest Sand Force 2281 Processor & Dura Class„¢ technology to deliver the highest transfer speed, endurance, & performance available today. With sustained reads up to 556MB/s & writes up to 523MB/s, up to 100X greater data protection than enterprise class Hard Disk Drives, & RAISE technology for RAID like data protection & reliability, the OWC 240GB Mercury Electra 6G SSD line delivers unbeatable performance thats designed & built in the U.S. from domestic & imported parts & backed by a three year warranty. High Performance Internal Storage: Replace your conventional hard drive with a reliable solid state drive. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, OWC SSDs have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers near instantaneous system response. This OWC 6G SSD Model is compatible with nearly any Mac or PC model with a Serial ATA connection (SATA, SATA 2.0, or SATA 3.0) including: ¢ All Mac Pro models ¢ All Mac Book Pro models NOTE exceptions below ¢ All Mac mini 2006-Current (All Intel Models) ¢ i Mac 2006-current (All Intel Models) ¢ All Mac Book models NOTE model exceptions below ¢ Xserve 2009 Special note for specific 2008-2010 Mac Books & 2008-2009 Mac Book Pros. We highly recommend the use of a SATA 2.0 (3 Gb/s) SSD such as the OWC Mercury Electra 3G for the following Macs: Mac Book Pro models with model ID: ¢ Mac Book Pro 5, 1 ¢ Mac Book Pro 5, 2 ¢ Mac Book Pro 5, 3 ¢ Mac Book Pro 5, 4 ¢ Mac Book Pro 5, 5 Mac Book models with model ID: ¢ Mac Book 5, 1 ¢ Mac Book 6, 1 ¢ Mac Book 7, 1 While a 6G SSD does function, it will only do so at SATA Revision 1.0 (1.5 Gb/s, 150MB/s) speeds rather that the SATA Revision 2.0 (3.0 Gb/s 300MB/s) speed the computer can deliver. 240GB Mercury Electra 6G SSD Specifications: Specifications: Controller

The actual total capacity will depend on your own defined file settings/preferences. In terms of standard gigabytes, 1 Gi B ‰ˆ 1.074GB & refers to the actual formatted capacity of shown under Mac OS 10.5 or earlier & Microsoft Windows OS. Specific application environments such as temperature & duty cycle will affect the overall reliability. Specifications provided by Sand Force. Temperature reporting is currently an unsupported feature because due to the operating characteristics of SSDs, it is highly unlikely one would ever exceed an OWC Mercury SSDs stated operating temperature ceiling of 158F/70C. However, we are looking into supporting this feature in the future via a firmware update.
