OWC Launches 4TB Aura Pro X2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

Other World Computing (OWC) announced the general availability release of a 4TB version of its Aura Pro X2 SSD.

The expanded storage option ensures Mac users enjoy speeds up to 5.5x faster and up to 32x more storage capacity, making it easier to tackle larger files, projects, and applications.

This 4TB version of the Aura Pro X2 SSD is built for Macs running macOS High Sierra (10.13) or later. Compatible with a wide range of MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Pro models (released from 2013 to 2019), it can deliver RW speeds over 3,200MB/s (specific performance depends on Mac model).

“We hear it all the time… people love their Macs, but they’re running out of space, and it just feels slow. Many think they need to buy a whole new machine just to keep up,” said Larry O’Connor, founder and CEO, OWC. “With the 4TB Aura Pro X2, we’re giving users the storage capacity and performance they need to keep their trusted Mac running like a pro, without the high cost of replacing it.”

Aura Pro X2 is built on PCIe 4.0 NVMe foundation and features advanced technologies including:

SLC caching for accelerated burst performance
Advanced wear leveling for extended drive lifespan and intelligent garbage collection for advanced free space management
End-to-end data path protection and TRIM support
Lower power consumption than factory SSDs

Most upgrades can be completed in about 15 minutes by following a free, step-by-step installation video.
