Customer Reviews
Working for OWC has it's perks. Namely that I get to use 2 OWC RE SSDs and work superfast with all my photoshop master files, web and print creations. No matter what I throw at them, the drives just work at warp speed, and are so reliable I don't even think about it. Whether it's opening multiple raw files from a product shoot, to a mega multi-layered master design file, you know you've arrived to the future when you can save a huge photoshop file in seconds. It's quite amazing to see the photoshop save progress bar start to tick away, and then just flash to completion. I've worked on these drives full time and more for over 6 months, these things are a rock. Proof positive that we live these products here at OWC.

Installed in a late 2010 MBP with the 2.8GHz I7. Booting is just a few seconds. MS Office apps start up in less than 2 seconds. Windows 7 with VS2010 compiles are incredibly fast. I got the 400 instead of the 480 as I am a power user. When you do development and compile all the time, I wanted the extra overprovisioning. - Cost is only a partial con as compiles and everything else is so fast that I am not waiting on other things. - Supplies are now such that there is same-day shipping. I got mine early and ended up with a significant (about 3 week) backorder/fulfillment. However, OWC is good and didn't charge until they were ready to ship.
