OWC's SSD vs HDD Shootout!
OWC's A Closer Look
Better by Design
"Mean Time To Failure" - We all know that nothing lasts forever. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't get the most out of your investment. OWC SSD with Durawrite™ Technology, optimizes writes to the flash memory over conventional controllers increasing the overall endurance and reliability of the complete SSD. Highly intelligent block management and wear leveling also extends the overall endurance. With this technology, even MLC-based SSDs can operate for years in demanding use applications without daily write restrictions. This adds up to a MTTF that is higher than most enterprise class hard drives and SSDs on the market today.
Additionally, as there are no volatile memory elements in this storage device, the need for cache is completely negated. The drive is just that fast from the get-go!

*The computers listed use an ATA-5 standard controller on the motherboard. This standard only recognizes drive capacities up to 128GB. The IDE/ATA computer use the ATA-6 standard which can recognize capacities larger than 128GB. This is completely different hardware, and there aren't any firmware updates that will allow an ATA-5 controller to see more than 128GB. Usually this is a common problem to computers that were available prior to 2003.
