From OWC, Availability of Mercury Extreme Pro 6G 2.5-Inch Up to 4TB SSD

OWC (Other World Computing, Inc.) announced the Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD, in capacities from 240GB up to 4TB.

The 2.5-inch SATA SSD is versatile and reliable, featuring components and engineering that bring older Macs and PCs up to current model performance levels.

It is for audio, video, photography editing, and production, for users who require performance. It is the standard for use in video capture with Black Magic cameras, AJA and more, in situations where sustained write performance is critical, and when a drop in performance can lead to lost frames and production time. Some drives drop to 50-60MB/s after their cache is exhausted, but the Mercury Extreme Pro is up to 10x faster performance than what many drives after their peak speed is exhausted with 2-3% of the drive written. When sustained performance is non-negotiable, it has users covered end to end.

10-year legacy of performance and reliability
When the first Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD was launched nearly a decade ago, it was built to be a fast, reliable, and longest endurance 2.5-inch SATA SSD The evolution of the firm’s premier 2.5-inch SATA SSD continues that legacy with up to 5X faster performance over the entirety of its capacity compared to other drives. For Macs or PCs with a 6Gb SATA drive bay it is a fast 2.5-inch SSD, with-solid engineering to keep users working full speed ahead throughout its life for a lower TCO.

Revitalize beloved Macs and PCs into modern day workhorses
With users’ investment in apps plus time devoted to getting that beloved Mac or PC configured just the way they like, it makes sense for users to maximize the lifespan and longevity of their machine before retiring it. By revitalizing any Mac or PC with a Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD, it can be transformed to like-new performance levels. Built using today’s highest quality NAND flash memory and controller design, it delivers sustained real-world tested R/W speeds over 500MB/s throughout its storage capacity. From faster boots and application launch times to improved system responsiveness, users will love using their ‘new’ computer at a fraction of the cost of buying the latest model.
