Designed for MacOnce again, OWC provides Mac users an upgrade path that delivers phenomenal performance, functionality, and reliability! Whether it's for the base 13" model only offering a 128GB SSD or the base 15" model offering just a 256GB SSD, installing an Aura Pro 6G SSD is the best enhancement for the MacBook Pro with Retina display. Just like other OWC upgrades, we include a free 'how-to' video to make this an easy and money-saving DIY upgrade.More Speed, More Capacity for MacBook AirOWC 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 modelsIncrease capacity up to 8x the 15-inch base modelsGet write speeds up to 500MB/s, 26% faster than factory original*Get read speeds up to 530MB/s, 8.6% faster than factory original*Better by DesignOWC 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 performanceGlobal wear leveling algorithm automatically distributes data evenly and manages program/erase count, maximizing SSD lifespanData refresh technology ensures data integrity, gradually refreshing data across the SSD over timeECC protection combines LDPC hard and soft decoding with advanced algorithm to detect and correct errors throughout the entire SSD data pathAdvanced security protocols support AES 128/256-bit full-drive encryption
