OWC Aura Pro 6G Solid-State Drive for 2012-2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display is compatible with the following Models:
- MacBook Pro (15-inch Retina Display 2013) (January, 2013) Model ID: MacBookPro10,1 (2.4GHz, 2.7GHz, 2.8GHz)
- MacBook Pro (13-inch Retina Display 2013) (January, 2013) Model ID: MacBookPro10,2 (2.5GHz, 2.6GHz, 2.9GHz, 3.0GHz)
- MacBook Pro (15-inch Retina Display 2012) (June, 2012) Model ID: MacBookPro10,1 (2.3GHz, 2.6GHz, 2.7GHz)
- MacBook Pro (13-inch Retina Display 2012-2013) (October, 2012) Model ID: MacBookPro10,2 (2.5GHz, 2.9GHz)
OWC 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.
- SLC caching algorithm accelerates burst performance
- Global wear leveling algorithm automatically distributes data evenly and manages program/erase count, maximizing SSD lifespan
- Data refresh technology ensures data integrity, gradually refreshing data across the SSD over time
- ECC protection combines LDPC hard and soft decoding with advanced algorithm to detect and correct errors throughout the entire SSD data path
- Advanced security protocols support AES 128/256-bit full-drive encryption
OWC Aura Pro SSDs provide a noticeable increase in performance over the factory SSDs for all MacBook Pro with Retina display models:
- Increase capacity up to 16x the 13-inch base models
- Increase capacity up to 8x the 15-inch base models
- Get write speeds up to 500MB/s, 26% faster than factory original*
- Get read speeds up to 530MB/s, 8.6% faster than factory original*
*Based on sequential speed testing of original stock 512GB SSD tested by Bare Feats. Sequential write speeds of 395MB/s, read speeds of 488MB/s.
Your Mac and OWC Aura. More than you thought possible.
