    Product Description

    OWC 250GB Mercury Electra™ 6G SSD 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.

    This 6G 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 506MB/s and random reads up to 90K IOPS, the OWC Mercury Electra 6G SSD line delivers unbeatable performance.

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

    The Mercury SSD line features a suite of industry-leading controller technologies for performance and reliability:

    • 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.

    Other Details

    Special note for specific 2009 iMacs, 2008-2010 MacBooks, 2008-2009 MacBook Pros & 2009 Mac mini.
    We highly recommend the use of a SATA 2.0 (3Gb/s) SSD such as the OWC Mercury Electra 3G for the following Macs:

    iMac9,1 MacBook5,1 MacBookPro5,1 Macmini3,1
    iMac10,1 MacBook5,2 MacBookPro5,2 Macmini4,1
    iMac11,1 MacBook6,1 MacBookPro5,3
    MacBook7,1 MacBookPro5,4
    MacBookPro5,5



    While a 6G SSD does function, it will only do so at SATA Revision 1.0 (1.5Gb/s, 150MB/s) speeds rather than the SATA Revision 2.0 (3.0Gb/s 300MB/s) speed the computer can deliver.
    The Mercury Electra 3G SSD is the OWC recommended upgrade option for the Macs listed in the special note above.

    This OWC SSD Mercury Electra 6G Model is compatible with nearly any Mac or PC model with a Serial ATA connection (SATA, SATA 2.0, or SATA 3.0) including:

      OWC SSD Mercury Electra 6G drive

      Posted by Richard Evers-Swindell on 25th Jan 2021

      After reading a number of articles to Speed up my Mac Pro 1.1 it recommended that one should buy a OWC SSD drive Mercury Electra 6G. Really fast drive. I bought one online from Flexx Memory, great value, very fast service ordered the previous morning, came the next day, what a service. I can highly recommend this company and will purchase from them again.
