Super Talent 2.5-Inch UltraDrive SSDs for Mac

Super Talent Technology Corporation announced it has self certified it’s UltraDrive SSDs for compatibility with the newest Apple MacBook (13”), MacBook Pro (15”/17”), and Mac Pro (Quad/8-Core) based on Intel’s Core i7 CPUs.

During compatibility testing Super Talent was able to improve boot time by up to 58% and achieve performance gains of over 5.3x vs. the stock Apple Hard Disk Drive (HDD). The UltraDrive ME delivered 32x the bandwidth of the HDD on 256K Random Writes as measured by the xBench standard benchmark. The UltraDrive also outperformed the Apple SSD by 2.5x.

On the Mac Pro Super Talent was able to achieve nearly 420 MB/sec write speeds with three SSDs in RAID-0. This configuration delivered enough bandwidth to write three uncompressed HD video streams in parallel.

“The market reception to our UltraDrive SSDs has been tremendous. We are proud to announce that the family now supports Apple MacBook, MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro lines. Apple users who upgrade with our products are going to be delighted with the simplicity of upgrading and the outstanding performance they will attain”, said Jeremy Werner, Sr. Product Marketing Manager for Super Talent.
