> 3 dayRestored my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with the OWC 1 TB Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD. My old MacBook Pro went from taking 8 minutes to boot to under 30 seconds. If youre making the change from HDD to SSD for the first time, youll be amazed at the difference. OWC has a great reputation, and so far, Ive been thrilled with their products.

> 3 dayGreat drive! Installed on 2011 MacBook Pro 17in. Such a difference in speed. It was taking 15 minutes just to boot up, now takes less than 2...It used to take FOREVER for photos to upload and edit. Now loads in no time with no lag! Definitely recommend if you have an older MacBook running and HDD...difference is night and day!

Starts Fast, Stays Fast
Even though many SSDs use low cost, less robust components in their design, they can still offer enticing short term bust speeds which are perfectly suitable for light duty uses. However, these drives are not designed to deliver consistent sustained speeds over their capacity rating, which results in a dramatic slowdown to even hard drive speeds under demanding use.
The fifth generation of Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD was built to start fast and stay fast. Its development began with using the best flash storage components and technology available. Next, after being nearly completely filled to capacity with data, it had to deliver the same high speed as if it were empty. This drive doesn’t flinch at any time or capacity level and drop read/write speeds like other drives do…it easily handles the most extreme, mission-critical uses you can throw at it.
Go Big or Go Home
Want to use the Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD in a computer, dock, camera, or external storage enclosure with a 9.5mm height drive bay? Unlike other brand 7mm SSDs that either don’t include an adapter or have an edge spacer with limited adhesive surface, the Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD comes with a full-sized spacer for 100% secure and compatible use.
