Aura Pro 1TB mSATA Solid State Drive

OWC Aura Pro 1TB 2012-13 MBP w/Retina mSATA SSD

This internal SSD features real-time data redundancy and error correction capabilities and is comprised of tier 1 major multi-level cell high-performance sync-NAND flash memory. Once installed, users can take advantage of a variety of built-in features including global wear leveling algorithm, StaticDataRefresh technology, hardware BCH ECC technology, reduced power consumption, and advanced security protocols including 128/256-bit AES full drive encryption.

General

• Global wear leveling algorithm automatically distributes data evenly and manages program/erase count, maximizing SSD lifespan
• StaticDataRefresh technology manages free space, gradually refreshing data across the SSD over time, enhancing data integrity
• Hardware BCH ECC corrects errors up to 66-bit/1KB for data retention and drive health

• Advanced security protocols support AES 128/256-bit full-drive encryption

Synchronous Interface NAND

• To achieve the higher bandwidth potential of the SATA 6 Gb/s bus standard, the SSD utilizes tier-1 Synchronous NAND
• Synchronous NAND enables reads and writes to be synced with the SSD processor’s clock signal for maximum data throughput

Design

• SSD optimizes writes to the flash memory to increase the overall endurance and reliability
• Intelligent block management and wear leveling also extends the overall endurance, which adds up to a high MTTF
