Keep your edge with the Aura Pro 6G 1.0TB Solid-State Drive and Envoy Pro Storage Solution Kit from OWC / Other World Computing. Designed for installation in 13" and 15" MacBook Pro (2012 and early 2013) laptops, this external flash/SSD drive upgrade features a SATA 6 Gb/s interface and a custom blade form factor. The drive uses 3D TLC NAND flash memory with SLC caching to deliver sequential data read and write speeds of up to 530 and 494 MB/s respectively—up to 26% faster than the factory-installed drives. Additionally, the SSD is calibrated to consume 2.1W during operation and to run cool, which helps lengthen the battery life of your MacBook Pro. This SSD includes an Envoy Enclosure and tools for installation.
