    Product Description

    OWC 500GB Mercury Electra™ 3G 2.5" Serial-ATA 7mm Solid-state Drive

     

    For High-Speed Performance and Reliability

     

    Mercury Electra SSDs deliver the latest in flash NAND and controller technology, utilizing SLC and 3D NAND for long-lasting, power-efficient performance. They offer a powerful combination of performance and reliability for demanding everyday computer users.

     

    The Mercury SSD line features:

    • Global wear leveling algorithms automatically distribute data evenly and manage program/erase count, maximizing SSD lifespan.
    • StaticDataRefresh manages free space, gradually refreshing data across the SSD over time, preventing data corruption.
    • Hardware BCH ECC corrects errors up to 66-bit/1KB for superior data retention and drive life.
    • S.M.A.R.T and TRIM command support
    • Standby power benefits to extend battery life for laptop road warriors

     

    This 3G SATA SSD delivers fast, reliable performance. It works as a hard drive upgrade internally and in bus-powered or self-powered external enclosures (any Mac, PC, or enclosure that supports 2.5" SATA drives, must support 7mm drive height).

    With sequential reads up to 271MB/s and random reads up to 90K IOPS, the OWC Mercury Electra 3G SSD line delivers unbeatable performance that's backed by a 3 Year OWC Limited Warranty.

    OWC SSDs have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers near instantaneous system response.

      Great quality drive and exactly what I needed for my iMac (late 2009) upgrade. The old girl speeds along now.
