Description

OWC Accelsior 1A Apple Factory SSD to PCIe Adapter Card

Repurposes an Apple factory flash drive from most 2013 to 2019 Mac models into a high-performance PCIe SSD

Highlights
Compatible: supports an Apple factory SSD drive from most 2013 to 2019 Mac Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro with Retina display, iMac, and Mac mini models
Highly versatile: installs into any x4, x8 or x16 PCIe slot with included full-height and low-profile brackets
Boosts performance: over 3000MB/s real-world speed for bandwidth-heavy projects, high demand server applications, and superior gaming
Bootable: start working in seconds
Store more: adds capacity for critical projects, files and games
Slot-powered: no extra power cables needed
Plug and play: no drivers needed

Repurpose and Maximize
With SSDs becoming more affordable and content continuing to grow, you’ve likely upgraded your Mac with a higher capacity drive. With the Accelsior 1A PCIe adapter card, you can repurpose that Apple factory SSD as a fast PCIe SSD to maximize your storage/backup space and technology investment.

Expanded High Speed Storage
The Accelsior 1A is a Plug and Play solution that gives the oft tossed aside factory SSD reimagined new life inside a 2019 Mac Pro, 2012 and 2010 Mac Pro, or PC tower with an open PCIe slot. It can even put that drive back to work externally in a PCIe expansion chassis like the OWC Mercury Helios 3S. (sold separately). By delivering the full speed and performance potential of the factory SSD via PCIe, the Accelsior 1A will let you enjoy:

Near instant start-up and business critical app launching
Real-time processing of intensive transfer tasks like multi-stream video editing
Shorter render, capture, and process times in video suites like Adobe Premier, Final Cut Pro/Pro X, DaVinci Resolve, and Avid Pro Tools
Quicker production capabilities in photo and audio platforms like Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Apple Logic Pro X
Faster game level-loading, responsiveness, and save times
Added use life years of current machine vs a far costlier new one

Adaptable and Easy
By supporting PCIe 3.0/2.0/1.0 motherboards and able to plug into x4/x8/x16 PCIe slots, the low-profile Accelsior 1A adapter card is a perfect performance upgrade for a wide variety of full-sized and small form factor computers. It turns an Apple factory SSD – and even OWC Aura SSDs - into an expanded high-speed storage solution in three easy steps:

Insert your SSD into the Accelsior 1A connector port.
Secure the SSD to the Accelsior 1A with supplied screw.
Install the Accelsior 1A into an open PCIe x4 or greater slot.
*Data transfer rate performance will vary based on SSD used, CPU capabilities, and PCIe generation slot used.
