2.0TB Aura Pro
Solid-state Drive and Envoy Pro Storage Solution

Mac / USB 3.0

For 2012 - early 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display

Designed for your Mac

Once again, OWC provides Mac users the only upgrade solution that delivers higher performance, functionality, and reliability! When first introduced, the MacBook Pro with Retina display base model offered a 256GB SSD configuration with no upgrade option. And current base models start from 128GB to 256GB. Now, instead of being "factory locked", the OWC Aura Pro 6G gives you the freedom to upgrade your capacity to meet your storage needs. Just like other OWC upgrades, we include a free 'how-to' video to make this an easy and money-saving DIY upgrade.

The Aura Pro 6G SSD features a suite of industry leading controller technologies for performance and reliability.

Global wear leveling algorithm automatically distributes data evenly and manages program/erase count, maximizing SSD lifespan.
StaticDataRefresh technology manages free space, gradually refreshing data across the SSD over time, enhancing data integrity.
Hardware BCH ECC corrects errors up to 66-bit/1KB for superior data retention and drive health.
Best-in-class power consumption
Advanced security protocols support AES 128/256-bit full-drive encryption

The Only Complete 2-in-1 Upgrade Solution:

Upgrade your MacBook Pro with Retina display factory installed SSD with greater performance and capacity via the Aura Pro.
Retask the replaced factory SSD as a bus-powered, pocket-sized external storage solution via the Envoy Pro.

Synchronous Interface NAND

Highlights

One of the fastest Internal SSDs available.
Includes sleek, anodized aluminum Envoy Pro storage solution
5 Year OWC SSD Limited Warranty

To achieve the higher bandwidth potential of the SATA 6Gb/s bus standard, the OWC Aura Pro 6G SSDs utilize Tier-1 Synchronous NAND instead of commonly utilized Asynchronous NAND. Synchronous NAND enables reads and writes to be "synced" with the SSD processor's clock signal for maximum data throughput.

Ultra-portable, bus-powered external storage solution designed to complement the MacBook Pro with Retina display¹

The OWC Envoy Pro combines elegance and functionality into a sleek, portable external storage solution that complements the design and finish of the MacBook Pro with Retina display. Its anodized aluminum body protects your drive and data, while its minimal size allows for simple stowing in coat pockets, backpacks or briefcases.

The USB 3.0 interface offers speedy transfer rates of up to 500MB/s and the Envoy Pro requires no AC power.

Better by Design

"Mean Time To Failure" – We all know that nothing lasts forever. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't get the most out of your investment. OWC SSD optimizes writes to the flash memory over conventional controllers increasing the overall endurance and reliability of the complete SSD. Highly intelligent block management and wear leveling also extends the overall endurance. This adds up to a MTTF that is higher than most SSDs and enterprise class hard drives on the market today.

1. The OWC Envoy Pro enclosure is specifically designed for use ONLY with the factory SSD installed in select Apple Macintosh computers. Do NOT attempt to install or use OWC Aura or Aura Pro X SSDs in the Envoy Pro as you may damage the OWC drive, the enclosure, or both, and such damage is not covered under warranty.

Rating: 5/5 New life for my 2012 MBP October 25, 2019 I was maxed out on stock 512GB SSD that bought with the computer in 2012. I love this MacBook Pro 15 inch Retina, and can't believe after all of these years that it is still a really, really, capable machine. My only issue was that given a large photo library and Xcode install I didn't have space to maneuver. This upgrade did the trick -- not only could I now install Logic Pro X, I was able to get all off the content with tonnes of space to spare! The price/value of this upgrade was excellent as it's really helped me avoid buying a new machine for maybe another 2 years. Installation was super easy, especially with the excellent videos and I bought the tools. Always have the right tools to avoid headaches. Be sure to plan ahead for how you are going to restore your data to your new drive (I had an external TimeCapsule backup which made it dead simple). I have been using it for a month and this SSD is a great product!

Rating: 4/5 Good Upgrade April 16, 2019 I upgraded my 2013 MacBook Pro from a 256GB SSD to the 500GB SSD. I had problems using the Apple cloning software using R and using the Disk Utility to copy the old drive onto the new one. I kept getting an "error 22" and "failure to invert". I later found out that this is a common problem, and not a problem with OWC hardware. I tried using the restore from a recent time machine backup, and it worked perfectly. The Envoy enclosure for my old drive is great! OWC Tech Support is outstanding, and I will continue doing business with OWC for all my Apple requirements.

Rating: 5/5 Exactly what I needed! September 16, 2018 My wife's MacBook Pro died while I was upgrading the OS a few months ago, and I hadn't been able to repair it until recently. I had her take it to the Genius Bar just to be absolutely sure there was nothing I had missed when attempting to recover everything via Internet Recovery, but they ran into the same problems. I bought this SSD and kit to attempt the repair at home, and it was as straightforward a process as I could have hoped for. I had her MacBook up and running again within a couple of hours, and it's now running faster than ever.

I could not be happier and thrilled with such an upgrade. 1. The process of purchasing the item is so easy with the OWC guide 2. Item arrived in lightening speed 3.

In 5 minutes I was connected to internet restart 6. took 45 minutes to restore from time machine..

Now I have renewed my old MacBook Pro and it is performing even better than the new ones. It is not good to recycle the old machines when you can refurbish. I changed my battery too so I have nothing less than a new MBP now. More than this, I have an external 750GB SSD with enclosed Envoy Pro USB 3 too.

Rating: 5/5 Gave my MBP Retina new life! July 6, 2018 I bought the 480GB SSD to replace the stock 128GB drive in my 2012 MBP. My main reason for the upgrade was to get more disk space so the "You are running out of disk space" nagger would stop. The installation could not have been easier. I don't think it took me 15 minutes to do the whole thing.

I have my extra space, but the biggest difference is the speed of the new OWC drive. I did not expect to see a big difference in speed, but it runs like a new computer, no kidding! Even running resource hogs like Lightbook CC are now much faster.

Rating: 5/5 Works perfectly April 22, 2018 I'd been kicking myself for years for being cheap and buying the 2012 MacBook Pro with the smaller hard drive. When I purchased it the sales rep told me the drive was soldered in and could never be upgraded.

Bottom line, occasionally something that seems too good to be true really is. The replacement could not have been any easier. The instructions were complete and accurate. The enclosure for the old drive works beautifully, feels solid, and looks good.

This purchase far exceeded my expectations.

Rating: 4/5 Worthwhile upgrade, but not painless December 19, 2017 Bought this to breathe new life into my work issued, aging Retina Pro. I was reluctant to deal with configuring a new machine from scratch. The physical install was trivial, but cloning the drive required some extra steps.

I recommend building a bootable Install disk on an SD card prior to swapping the drives. Install the new SSD and put the old one in the external housing. Boot to the install disk, and then use 'Restore' to clone your old SSD to the new internal drive.

Rating: 5/5 Incredibly easy! November 4, 2017 I purchased the Envoy pro upgrade kit, and it was the fastest and easiest upgrade I've made on any computer to date. I have dozens of laptops of all brands (Dell, HP, IBM, Asus, and have now decided to switch to everything Apple. We have four Apple computers now: my MacBook Pro 2013, my daughter's 2014 MacBook Air, my wife's 2016 MacBook, and the family iMac.

This kit came with all the tools needed to do this upgrade seamlessly, and the Apple online restoration process enabled me to get a new and clean software build in a matter of hours. I love having the old hard drive as an external replacement, as I was able to get the handful of things that did not transfer to iCloud.

Highly recommended upgrade, and kudos to OWC for putting together such a great package. This upgrade would've been over a $1000 option with Apple.
