OWC 480GB Aura Pro 6G SSD & Envoy Pro Storage Solution for 2012-2013 Mac Book Pro with Retina display The Aura Pro 6G SSD 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. The Only Complete 2-in-1 Upgrade Solution: Upgrade your r MBPs factory installed SSD with greater performance & capacity via the Aura Pro. Retask the replaced factory SSD as a bus-powered*, pocket-sized external storage solution via the Envoy Pro. First & Only Complete Storage Upgrade Once again, OWC provides Mac users the only upgrade solution that delivers higher performance, functionality, & reliability! When first introduced, the Mac Book Pro with Retina display base model offered a 256GB SSD configuration with no upgrade option. & 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 & money-saving DIY upgrade. Synchronous Interface NAND To achieve the higher bandwidth potential of the SATA 6 Gb/s bus standard, the OWC Aura Pro 6G SSDs utilize Tier-1 Synchronous NAND instead of commonly utilized Asynchronous N&. Synchronous NAND enables reads & writes to be "synced" with the SSD processors clock signal for maximum data throughput. Ultra-portable, bus-powered* external storage solution designed to complement the Mac Book Pro with Retina display The OWC Envoy Pro combines elegance & functionality into a sleek, portable external storage solution that complements the design & finish of the Mac Book Pro with Retina display. Its anodized aluminum body protects your drive & data, while its minimal size allows for simple stowing in coat pockets, backpacks or briefcases. The USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 interface offers speedy transfer rates of up to 500MB/s & the Envoy Pro requires no AC power. 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. This adds up to a MTTF that is higher than most SSDs & enterprise class hard drives on the market today. OWC Note: Compatible with the Flash SSD module used in 2012-2013 13" & 15" Mac Book Pro with Retina Display models.
