A perfect combination

Experience the Extreme performance of an OWC SSD upgrade with this easy DIY AdaptaDrive and Mercury Extreme Pro Kit. AdaptaDrive enables you to install the high-speed Mercury SSD in an available 3.5" SATA drive bay in moments, delivering blistering transfer speeds and outstanding reliability.

Starts fast, stays fast

Even though many SSDs use low cost, less robust components in their design, they can still offer enticing short term bust speeds which are perfectly suitable for light duty uses. However, those drives are not designed to deliver consistent sustained speeds over their capacity rating, which results in a dramatic slowdown to even hard drive speeds under demanding use.
The fifth generation of Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD was built to start fast and stay fast at over 500MB/s sustained. Its development began with using the best flash storage components and technology available. Next, after being nearly completely filled to capacity with data, it had to deliver the same high speed as if it were empty. This drive doesn’t flinch at any time or capacity level and drop read/write speeds like other drives do…it easily handles the most extreme, mission-critical uses you can throw at it.

Maintains highest performance while offering ultimate convenience

The NewerTech AdaptaDrive has been benchmark test proven to deliver the same data transfer rates as is experienced when a drive is connected directly to the SATA data bus. The AdaptaDrive doesn't create a bottleneck or any performance throttling...it delivers pure data pass-through performance and drive use convenience from any 2.5" SATA 1.5Gb/s, 6Gb/s, or 6Gb/s hard drive or SSD.

    NewTech AdaptaDrive 2.5 to 3.5 inch Converter Bracket

    The adapters work as advertised- I was able to adapt to my Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 with the supplied screws, but I had to use smaller screws of my own for the ThunderBay 4, as the screws supplies were too big for the SSD Crucial BX 200 drives. The screws were fine for HDD drives, but too big for SSD's; the larger screws supplied would not screw completely though the holes in the adapter. Once I made the necessary modification, everything worked great. A small quibble, but IMHO the smaller screws should be supplied as well.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!
