apricorn

Simple to install and with PCIe 2.0 data transfer speeds up to 800MBps, the Velocity Duo x2 gives your desktop a whole new gear with Dual SSDs (RAID 0) and super-fast SATA III connections. The Velocity Duo utilizes a Marvell 9230 chipset and is bootable in both PC and Mac systems.

Easy Installation

The Velocity Duo takes just minutes to install. Simply snap your Solid State Drives to the Velocity Duo's SATA connectors, secure them with the provided mounting screws, then slide the card into any available PCIe slot (x2 or larger.) Once installed, transfer your OS and applications from your desktop hard drive to your new SSDs using Apricorn’s EZ Gig cloning software for PC systems, or for the Mac Pro use Apple's built-in Disk Utility.

Ideal for High-Performance Applications and Improved Gaming Performance

Running your OS and applications on an SSD provides a measurable performance increase, but the Velocity Duo is the ultimate upgrade for improving gaming performance.

SSDs Improve Game Performance

As games become too large for their assets to be fully cached on modern graphics cards and main memory, the addition of two SSDs brings faster disk access during game play and greatly eliminates in-game pauses for a smoother playing experience. Games are also faster to load and save with two SSDs.

Blending Performance and Capacity – Apricorn’s EZ Gig Cloning Software with Data Select Makes it Simple

The Velocity Duo is bundled with Apricorn’s EZ Gig Cloning software with Data Select. Data Select provides a simple method to deselect data folders from the cloning process which is helpful when migrating from a large HDD to a smaller SSD and perfect for creating a Boot Disk. This gives you the option to run your OS and applications from a fast, smaller SSD boot drive, while keeping your documents and media files on your original hard drive.
