OWC Elite Pro Mini SSD on MacBook Pro Retina with USB3 = Blazing Fast

The June 2012 MacBook Pro USB3 ports are fast — very fast.

The OWC Elite Pro Mini SSD on the USB3 port is at least as fast (apparently faster) than the 3G SSDs I’ve tested on internal ports on the MacBook Pro and Mac Pro.

See the summary test results, as well as my full review of the OWC 480GB Mercury Elite Pro Mini SSD.
