OWC, a zero emissions Mac and PC technology company, have announced the addition of its lowest-cost-of-entry SSD to its SSD line, the OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 3G SSD. The new SSD combines SandForce technologies and Tier 1/Grade A NAND to bring data rates over 275MB/s in a noiseless, more reliable form factor over conventional magnetic HDDs.
OWC, a zero emissions Mac and PC technology company, have announced the addition of its lowest-cost-of-entry SSD to its SSD line, the OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 3G SSD. The new SSD combines SandForce technologies and Tier 1/Grade A NAND to bring data rates over 275MB/s in a noiseless, more reliable form factor over conventional magnetic HDDs.
The OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 3G delivers near bus saturating speed for Mac or PC owners who have a Serial ATA data bus equipped and has been recorded to delivering sustained data rates of over 275MB/s providing significant benefits in overall system responsiveness and sustained workflow.
Typical SSDs initially offer fast read/write performance; however, they usually experience major write speed degradation over repeated usage. Independent simulation tests conducted by drive performance experts such as MacPerformanceGuide confirm that OWC Mercury SSD’s Block Management & Wear Leveling technologies are able to eliminate nearly any reduction in data transfer speeds over intense, long-term usage without dependency on less-than-effective OS TRIM management.
The OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 3G provides an increase of up to 100x in data protection with its no moving parts and SandForce DuraClass technology. With its highest level of Error Correction Code, SandForce RAISE technology, and 7 percent over provisioning, the new SSD provides RAID-like data protection and reliability without loss of transfer speed due to parity.
The OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 3G SSD comes in capacities from 30GB to 480GB starting from $67.99 and is backed by a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.
