If 480GB isn’t your thing, the drives start in capacities of 50GB ($220) for enterprise and 60GB ($195) for consumer and go up from there. The core difference between the drives is provisioning, the consumer drives offer 7% over provisioning where the enterprise SSDs use a 28% allotment. 

OWC offers a 3-year warranty for the consumer drives and five years for the enterprise. Further OWC offers a 30-day money back guarantee on their 50GB to 240GB OWC Mercury Extreme Pro models.
