The new, built-in-the-USA Mercury Aura Pro Express SSD and other OWC Mercury SSDs will be shown in Other World Computing\u2019s booth #5231, LVCC North Hall, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which begins Tuesday in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Only Performance Upgrade Available for MacBook Air<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Joining two previously released Mercury Aura Pro Express 6G capacity models\u2014120GB and 240GB\u2014the new 6Gb\/s SATA Revision 3.0 480GB model continues OWC\u2019s position as the only alternative to factory SSD options for the MacBook Air models.<strong> <\/strong>3G speed Mercury SSDs from OWC are also available in capacities up to 480GB.

Independent simulation tests conducted by leading drive performance experts like <em>MacPerformanceGuide<\/em><strong> <\/strong>confirm OWC Mercury SSD\u2019s ultra-efficient Block Management &amp; Wear Leveling technologies are able to eliminate virtually any reduction in data transfer speeds over heavy, long-term usage without dependency on less-than-effective OS TRIM management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Our initial 120GB and 240GB 6G models were wildly successful as they enabled current model MacBook Air owners to experience the true capabilities of their machine<\/em>,\u201d said Larry O\u2019Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing. \u201c<em>However, we continually received requests to duplicate the 480GB capacity offered in our 3G SSD line for the MacBook Air.
