OWC has redesigned its 3rd generation of OWC Aura Pro 6G SSDs with premium 3D NAND Flash and the latest controller technology to operate cooler and consume less power, resulting in improved battery life for your MacBook Pro. OWC SSDs are engineered to be the best for Mac, undergoing a rigorous multi-stage lab testing process to deliver absolute reliability at maximum performance long into the future.

The OWC Aura Pro SSDs provide a noticeable increase in performance over the factory SSDs for all MacBook Pro with Retina display models. Users can increase capacity up to 16x the 13-inch base models and up to 8x the 15-inch base models. They can also get write speeds up to 500MB/s, 26% faster than the factory original, and read speeds up to 530MB/s, 8.6% faster than the factory original.

The Aura Pro SSDs feature several advanced technologies, including SLC caching algorithm to accelerate burst performance, global wear leveling algorithm to automatically distribute data evenly and manage program/erase count, and data refresh technology to ensure data integrity by gradually refreshing data across the SSD over time. Additionally, the ECC protection combines LDPC hard and soft decoding with an advanced algorithm to detect and correct errors throughout the entire SSD data path, and the advanced security protocols support AES 128/256-bit full-drive encryption.

Aura PCIe-based flash storage upgrades are precisely engineered for Mac laptops, ensuring complete compatibility without the need for complicated software hacks. OWC SSDs perform maintenance tasks in the background to optimize the health, performance, and endurance of the flash drive, with 7% over-provisioning.

In summary, the OWC Aura Pro 6G SSDs offer up to 26% faster write speeds and 8.6% faster read speeds compared to the factory SSDs, while providing increased capacity, advanced security features, and reliable performance.
