Why Mercury Extreme Pro SSD?

* One of the fastest Internal SATA 2.5" SSD with available data rates up to 285MB/s.
* SandForce DuraClass™ technology with Ultra-efficient Block Management & Wear Leveling offers highest endurance, performance, and power efficiency in a SATA SSD.
* SandForce® Processor maximizes read and write performance to greatly extend the endurance and overall reliability of the drive.
* Up to 100X greater data protection than what the highest rated enterprise class conventional hard disk drive (HDD) provides.
* Best in class error correction (ECC) and SandForce RAISE™ (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) technology provides RAID like data protection and reliability without loss of transfer speed due to parity.
* Intelligent "recycling" for advanced free space management
* Highly secure… all data automatically stored in AES-128 encrypted format.
* Designed and made in the US from imported parts.

Over Provisioning & Wear Management Explained
Some of the drive space in OWC SSDs are allocated for RAISE – which provides real time data redundancy, ECC Error Correction, and reserve cell space.

Example: An OWC Pro SSD that's 240GB in size with 7% over-provisioning is actually a 256GB drive with 7% allocated for data management, and to maintain the drive's high-performance level.

Unlike most SSDs on the market today, the Mercury Pro family uses advanced DuraWrite™ wear-leveling and block management technologies to keep Read/Write performance at peak while others see performance fall.
