OWC’s Aura Pro and Mercury solid-state drive (SSD) products were selected as Product Line of the Year for their reputation as the ultimate performance upgrade for any Mac or PC.

“We’re justifiably proud of our Aura Pro and Mercury SSD products, which are designed and built here in the United States,” said Larry O’Connor, founder and CEO of Other World Computing. “The OWC team is honored to receive a Gold award from Best in Biz Awards 2013 International, and we will continue to work to bring gold-level service and products to our customers every day.”
