1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). The actual total capacity will depend on your own defined file settings/preferences.
In terms of standard gigabytes, 1GiB ≈ 1.074GB and refers to the actual formatted capacity of shown under Mac OS 10.5 or earlier and Microsoft Windows OS.
Specific application environments such as temperature and duty cycle will affect the overall reliability.
Temperature reporting is currently an unsupported feature because due to the operating characteristics of SSDs, it is highly unlikely one would ever exceed an OWC Mercury SSD's stated operating temperature ceiling of 158F/70C. However, we are looking into supporting this feature in the future via a firmware update. Firmware updates can be found here: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/OWC/SSD.

Rating: 5/5 Fast drive at a good price. September 3, 2019 I bought the 1TB unit tor replace my existing 500GB Mercury SSD in an old Mac Pro which already had the OWC sled. Cloned the installed drive and swapped them over without difficulty. New drive worked immediately without any problem. Cloned the 300GB HDD in an old Macbook Pro 15" mid-2009 on to the 500GB Mercury drive and swapped those over at the same time as renewing the battery and Airport card. Again, the Mercury drive worked straight away and the laptop was noticeably fast. I like the Mercury drives.

Rating: 5/5 Excellent drive, easy install August 8, 2018 Excellent, reasonably priced SS drive for my 2010 MacBook Pro. I'm still using a computer with firewire, and it's almost impossible to find FW drives except here. I had previously bought the OWC tool kit for other installations, and the OSC install videos are incredibly helpful. and specific to your particular computer, so installation of the new drive was a breeze. In all my years of buying RAM, internal drives, external drive and other items from OWC (probably more than 15 years at this point), I have never had a single problem or failure with any product I've ordered....which is why I always come back here first when I need some kind of hardware for my computers. The shipping process is also quick and efficient, never a problem there either.

Rating: 5/5 Great Upgrade November 27, 2017 The hard drive in my MacBook Pro died and this replacement, along with a new battery and some RAM (all from OWC) turned it into a brand new computer. Super impressed with the great install videos. Just make sure you have the required Torq screwdriver when you install. I always feel confident that I’m getting the right product for my machine. Very happy with the hard drive.

Rating: 5/5 Nice speed gains!! August 31, 2017 After installing this in my Mid-2010 MacBook, I was surprised at the speed. Now my Mac boots in a fraction of the time. Performance is great, even under Windows, which I installed using Bootcamp. I highly recommend this to anyone needing more speed from their Mac. The speed gains are real. The only downside is the price. Other than that, this is a worthwhile investment.

Rating: 5/5 Successfully upgraded my 2009 laptop! August 1, 2017 I've heard great things about OWC and their reliability for anything Macbook-related. I ordered to an Asian country which is where I currently am and the shipping was great at under $5! It did take a bit longer than their intended date by around one or two weeks but that's all considered how far my country is. The bubble-wrapped letter kept the contents from OWC safe from harm and all was in perfect condition, packaged as new. The product works as intended. The only downside I've only ever heard of macsales is the shipping, but remember that once it's shipped, it's out of their hands how it all works out. If you're paranoid of packages getting safely (as I am), I highly suggest you pay extra for faster + tracking service. Thank you MacSales for giving my university laptop the boost it needs before the school year!

Rating: 5/5 Off to the races! June 13, 2017 I replaced the failing hard drive on a PC laptop with a 60 GB SSD drive from OWC. The screws for the mounting frame from the laptop seemed large for the SSD drive, but after calling OWC tech support, I went ahead with the installation. I then installed Ubuntu Linux on the SSD, and performance is amazing. It takes 15 seconds to boot from a cold start and about 2 seconds for a browser to connect with the Internet. Guaranteed, that laptop never did anything so fast!

I just wish the cost of SSD storage would come down further, but that's not OWC's fault.

Rating: 5/5 Cheap, Effective upgrade June 11, 2017 This SSD upgrade has easily given another 4-5 years to my 7 year old MacBook Pro. The easy-to follow video instructions ensured this was a 10-minute task.

Thank you for saving me $2k-$3k on a new laptop!

Rating: 4/5 Even At 3G, A Huge Improvement May 27, 2017 Bought the 3G instead of the 6G because it was on clearance and had some pretty immediate pangs of buyer's remorse, but after installing I am very pleased. My mid-2012 MacBook Pro feels like a new computer with this upgrade (alongside 16GB of RAM and a new battery, also from OWC). Certainly gave this old laptop a new lease on life. My only note: the screws that connect the drive to the mounting rails from my old laptop took way more force to fully thread than I was comfortable with: I was worried I was breaking my new drive! It was probably the thread tape/loctite that was from the original installation, but with a bit of muscle, I was able to drive them fully home, and it fit like a dream.
