Designed with a Silicon Motion SM2246EN Series controller and Tier 1 MLC NAND flash, the 1TB Mercury Extreme Pro 6G Internal SSD from OWC / Other World Computing features 1TB storage capacity, allowing you to store a variety of files including movies, photos, music, documents, and more. This SSD connects to your system's 2.5" / 7mm bay via its SATA III 6 Gb/s interface that is also compatible with SATA II 3 Gb/s and SATA 1.5 GB/s. Additionally, this drive may be used in 2.5" / 9.5mm drive bays using the included 7mm to 9.5mm spacer. With solid-state drive technology, you benefit from load and access times for your files and programs that are faster than a conventional hard disk drive. Sustained read speeds of up to 500 MB/s and data write speeds of up to 450 MB/s allow you to access data stored within the drive quickly and efficiently. SSDs also contain no moving parts, which helps them to be better protected against physical damage. SSDs also receive less wear and tear when compared to traditional spinning hard drives, as they have no read or write heads for the drive media to come into contact with.
The 1TB Mercury Extreme Pro 6G Internal SSD supports single and multiple drive RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 10, and 0+1, each of which offers redundancy, performance, or a combination of both. It also features 7% over provisioning, meaning that 7% of the drive is always allocated for data management and maintaining the drive's performance. This is further strengthened by the 64GB that are allocated to real-time data redundancy and error correction. This SSD is protected by a limited 5-year warranty.
