OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD

View OWC Mercury 2.5" SSD lineup (60/120/240/480/1000 GB) as well as all OWC SSDs and SSD upgrades for all Macs.

A very fine performer, the new 1TB OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD delivers high performance on both compressible and incompressible data within a tight performance envelope. It looks eminently suitable for RAID use.

Review: 1TB OWC 1TB Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD (Late 2015)

While OWC has offered the 1TB Mercury Electra 6G 1TB for a good while and it is a fine performer (MPG uses one for an external backup), the EXTREME Pro 6G line had been maxed out at 480GB for several years.

As of late 2015, the EXTREME Pro 6G now has a new high-capacity part, the 1TB OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G SSD. At about $429, it offers excellent value with its 5-year warrant and 30-day money back guarantee.

Suitability: MacBook Pro (non retina), 2009-2012 Mac Pro, external enclosures, OWC Thunderbay 4 Mini, drive docks, etc. Of course, it also works in any PC with a 2.5" compatible drive bay.
