Release Candidate (RC) firmware set

There are two kinds of firmware for SSDs Mass Production (MP) and Release Candidate (RC). Prior to an MP firmware release, there are beta firmware releases and an RC firmware release. Often, the RC is the same as the MP release, however there can be small changes and bug fixes made between the two. OWC has evaluated the RC for the 6Gb/s SandForce 2281 Processor and found it to be stable with no issues reported during our testing. However, as with any evolutionary product, issues may surface as different usages and configurations are employed and it is important to understand that there will be further updates and revisions.

Since no firmware update is currently offered for the OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G SSD, no update page exists. To see the typical steps involved with a self performed field firmware update, please visit our 3Gb/s product update page at: http://eshop.macsales.com/Customized_Pages/Framework.cfm?page=sf_firmware.html

It is important to note that the current firmware update tool requires the use of Windows XP/Vista/7. OWC is currently working on a Mac OS based update tool, but we do not have an exact availability date.

Rating: 5/5 A Super Upgrade! July 3, 2020 With the 1.0TB Mercury Extreme Pro SSD (and an upgrade to 32GB of memory) my vintage Mac Pro absolutely flies, even doing high definition video editing and multi-track digital audio production. A fantastic upgrade! The drive sled makes for a neat, solid installation. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5/5 Fast May 27, 2018 Replacement for my E2 that kind of became unreliable. So far, so good. Set up as my boot drive and as fast as the E2 for my Mac Pro. Extending the life of my 5.1 Mac Pro. Easy install and working fine.

Rating: 5/5 New life to my aging Mac Pro April 30, 2018 Like many, I've been waiting to see what Apple is going to do about its Mac Pro line. I have a mid 2010 that has been doing fine and can still handle the OS updates. But booting up and response in certain programs has been getting slower. I talked to a rep at OWC about what difference an SSD boot drive would make and he said he thought I'd notice a big one. He patiently answered my questions about installation, how I'd migrate my data from the current boot drive, compatibility, my particular needs, etc. When we were done, I put in my order and received a 1TB SSD quickly. It was easy to install and a Time Machine restore moved everything over almost flawlessly. I now feel like I have a new computer (OK, maybe not a new one, but it's a lot peppier now). This buys me some time until I find out what the next greatest thing is from Apple that will fill my needs (and lighten my wallet!). Great purchasing experience. Thanks, OWC

Rating: 5/5 GREAT EXPERIENCE March 7, 2017 I wanted this SSD drive for an older 2011 Mac Pro, and wondered if I could use it as a "boot drive." I called MacSales and they assured me it could. Using the simple on-line install video, it took me about 3 minutes to put this drive in the appropriate slot. When I booted the machine, there it was!

I used SuperDuper to clone my existing hard drive to the new SSD, then selected it as the start drive... and held my breath. It saw it as the master drive, and booted it! Everything came up and looked normal, except now I was on a super fast SSD. What a difference! Thanks again Other World for creating a place just for us.

Rating: 5/5 I have a brand new computer! November 16, 2016 Install/instructions couldn't have been easier!!! Installed the Mercury Extreme Pro 6G in a MacPro Tower at church, running all our media for services. This SSD (and RAM upgrade) and ease of installation has saved us thousands and given us what operates like a brand new, supercharged computer!! Thanks to MacSales for GREAT, HIGH QUALITY products and an extremely 'user-friendly' website! It's a no-brainer for me! Now I'm looking at upgrading all my personal macs at home in the same way! Thank you, MacSales!

Rating: 5/5 A good product, easy install, works well August 4, 2016 Delivery was prompt and the hardware installation was very straightforward. This kit comes with a little set of screwdrivers which are pretty well only for one time use because they're not the best. Still, the kit is a good value since it comes with the appropriate disk cradle. The software installation and backup recovery were easy although of course quite time consuming but now I'm enjoying much better performance than I was getting from the hard drive I replaced.

Rating: 5/5 1TB SSD+2.5" Drive Sled = Mac Pro WOW! April 15, 2016 Doing a lot of work with pro audio, I needed to update my 2009 4,1 Mac Pro. After installing the 1.0TB Mercury Extreme Pro SSD my computer is faster, quieter and just feels like new. And I like the Blue drive sled. With the help of OWC it's possible to keep these machines running as good as the new ones, with much more user flexibility. Thanks OWC! Love it
