SLC caching algorithm accelerates burst performance
Global wear leveling algorithm automatically distributes data evenly and manages program/erase count, maximizing SSD lifespan
Data refresh technology ensures data integrity, gradually refreshing data across the SSD over time
ECC protection combines LDPC hard and soft decoding with advanced algorithm to detect and correct errors throughout the entire SSD data path
Advanced security protocols support AES 128/256-bit full-drive encryption
More Speed, More Capacity for MacBook Pro
OWC Aura Pro SSDs provide a noticeable increase in performance over the factory SSDs for all MacBook Pro with Retina display models:
Increase capacity up to 16x the 13-inch base models
Increase capacity up to 8x the 15-inch base models
Get write speeds up to 500MB/s, 26% faster than factory original1
Get read speeds up to 530MB/s, 8.6% faster than factory original1
1. Based on sequential speed testing of original stock 512GB SSD tested by Bare Feats. Sequential write speeds of 395MB/s, read speeds of 488MB/s.
Everything You Need, Ready for Installation
Re-use the factory SSD via the OWC Envoy as an external storage solution.
