When only the fastest and most reliable Solid State Drive on the market today will suffice for your data storage and backup, look no further than the OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro SSD.

The Mercury EXTREME Pro 3G SSD line features industry leading SandForce® DuraClass™ Technologies

This internal 2.5" SATA SSD uses a high performance SandForce Driven™ processor with DuraClass™ technology to deliver the highest transfer speed, endurance, performance, and power efficiency available today.

With sustained read and write times over 260MB/s, up to 100X greater data protection than enterprise class HD's, and RAISE™ technology for RAID like data protection and reliability, the OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 3G SSD line delivers unbeatable performance that's designed and built in the U.S. from domestic and imported parts and backed by a three year warranty.

High Performance Internal Storage

Replace your conventional hard drive with a reliable solid state drive. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, OWC solid state drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness.

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!
