\"merc-electra-pro-6g_gall4\"There\u2019s nothing quite like using a Solid State Drive for the first time: blazing speeds, incredible data reliability, no moving parts so it stays cool and runs quietly.<\/p>\n

But just because SSDs are powerful, doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re complicated to use. With our instructional videos<\/a>, SSDs are an easy plug-and-play install and they are one of the quickest and easiest ways to help immediately get the best performance from your computer<\/strong> \u2013 new or old.<\/p>\n

It really begs the question: If you\u2019d like more speed from your machine and haven\u2019t upgraded to an SSD, what are you waiting for? Check out some comments from proud OWC SSD<\/a> owners who have asked themselves that very thing:<\/p>\n

\u2018Superfast startups and app launching\u2019<\/strong>
\n\u201c[First] time with a SSD. I love it. I can’t believe I waited so long to get one. It was easy to install and setup in my Mac Pro 4,1 as the boot drive. Everything is so much faster from booting up to launching apps. Its like have a brand new computer.\u201d \u2013 Anonymous, Boston, Mass.<\/p>\n

\u2018Works Great, Runs Fast!\u2019<\/strong>
\n\u201cInstalled this drive and some RAM<\/a> on my late 2008 macbook pro and it brought it back to life! Quick and easy install. Why did I wait so long????\u201d \u2013 Anonymous, Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

\u2018Fantastic!\u2019<\/strong>
\n\u201cI cannot say enough good things about this drive, if you are even considering it, stop reading and buy it.” \u2013 Andrew, Lawrence, Kans.<\/p>\n

\u2018Don’t wait!\u2019<\/strong>
\n\u201cMy original hard drive started acting up so I decided to try a 240GB Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G SSD in my late 2011 MacBook Pro. WOW! Boot times went from 90 seconds to 16. Applications open as fast as I can click on them. Make the change, you can’t buy another upgrade that will improve your performance this much. The only issue I have now is I’m going to have to buy another one for my Mac Mini.\u201d \u2013 Anonymous, Charlotte, N.C.<\/p>\n

\u2018HOLY WOW!!!\u2019<\/strong>
\n\u201cFor years I read all the reviews about the speed of an SSD upgrade. Well it’s almost laughable how much faster my macbook is now. This thing screams, my mac feels twice as fast. To avoid any issues…. with all that is mac… I bought from OWC, and as usual top notch product, service, and support.\u201d \u2013 Anonymous<\/p>\n

\u2018Brilliant and surpasses expectations!\u2019<\/strong>
\n\u201cI was hoping that this upgrade to my 2008 Mac Pro would put off the arduous and costly task of replacing my computer for at least another year and I have to say it has far surpassed any expectations I had before receiving and installing it. \u2026 My only regret is that I had not made this upgrade a year ago, but I feel fortunate that I have this now.\u201d \u2013 Anonymous, Ontario, Canada<\/p>\n

You can find many more customer reviews under the \u201cRatings\u201d tab on our SSD product pages<\/strong>\u00a0and see what others are saying about OWC\u2019s line of award-winning SSDs<\/a>.
