OWC 480GB Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express Solid State Drive
OWC 480GB Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express SSD The PCIe SSD drive built for the most demanding needs of video editing and creative professionals. Boot, Launch, Create, and Save Faster With its simultaneous internal and external storage performance, the Mercury Accelsior_E2 offers the the best combination of speed, capacity, and 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 and app launches. And save your work faster than ever before. The Accelsior_E2 utilizes the PCIe slot in Mac Pros and 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 3Gb/s drive bay, and well beyond 6Gb/s drive speeds. When your work is completed, transfer it for backup or archival purposes at speeds up to 600MB/s via the two eSATA expansion ports to any external storage device with an eSATA port. Boost Entry-Level Server and Gaming In addition to video-editing and multimedia creation / management deployment, the Accelsior_E2 takes entry-level servers and 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, and save times for more playing and less waiting. And Laptops, Mac mini, & iMac 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, and Upgradeable SSD Blades Accelsior_E2s SandForce Driven SSD blades provide a more responsive and productive computing experience with cooler, quieter, and more energy efficient operation compared to standard hard drives. SandForce RAISE™ technology provides RAID-like data redundancy protection and reliability. And 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, and is designed and built in the U.S. from domestic and imported parts. Note about compatibility and throughput:•Compatibility: &9702;Compatible with all eSATA equipped storage solutions. •PC Throughput: &9702;PCIe 2.0 x4 slot or better is required. Use of a PCIe 1.0 x4 slot will reduce performance. •Mac Pro Throughput: &9702;2009–2010 Mac Pro. Installing Accelsior into any open x4 or x16 PCIe 2.0 slot will deliver full throughput up to 785MB/s. &9702;2008 Mac Pro. These models have two x16 PCIe 2.0 slots, which enable Acceslsior_E2 to deliver full throughput up to 785MB/s. Installing Accelsior_E2 into of the two x4 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. •eSATA Expansion Ports: &9702;Compatible with all eSATA equipped storage solutions.* *Requires 6Gb/s certified cables for connecting to eSATA drives - available separately. Not compatible with port-multiplier
enclosures. The eSATA ports do not support hot-swapping. Accelsior_E2 eSATA ports are bootable.&9702;A sleep conflict may be encountered when using certain eSATA chipsets via the eSATA 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 eSATA 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 eSATA connected device). We are working with our partners to see that the sleep/wake function is fully
supported with all solutions and 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. &9702;Bootcamp. 2008 Mac Pro (with model ID MacPro3, 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 MacPro1, 1; MacPro2, 1; MacPro3, 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. 480GB Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express SSD Specifications:
