Mercury Electra™ 6G SSD
2.5" Serial-ATA 7mm Solid State Drive
For High Speed Personal Computing, Home Office, Gaming, and Personal Photography.
For mission critical applications that require the utmost in speed and reliability, Mercury 6G SSD’s deliver performance you can count on.
The Mercury SSD line features a suite of industry leading controller technologies for performance and reliability:
- Global wear leveling algorithms automatically distribute data evenly and manage program/erase count, maximizing SSD lifespan.
- StaticDataRefresh technology manages free space, gradually refreshing data across the SSD over time, limiting data corruption
- Hardware BCH ECC corrects errors up to 66-bit/1KB for superior data retention and drive life.
- Best-in-class power consumption: Average 60mW
- Advanced security protocols support 128/256-bit-AES and TCG Opal full-disk encryption
This internal 2.5" SATA SSD delivers outstanding transfer speeds, endurance, and reliability. With sustained reads up to 535MB/s and writes up to 443MB/s, the OWC 1TB Mercury Electra 6G SSD line delivers unbeatable performance that's designed and built in the U.S. from domestic and imported parts and backed by a 3 Year OWC SSD Limited Warranty.
High Performance Internal Storage
Replace your conventional hard drive with a reliable solid state drive. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, OWC SSDs have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers near instantaneous system response.
Includes 7 mm to 9.5 mm Adapter / Spacer
Attach this adapter to the top of any 7mm, 2.5-inch drive for installations that require a 9.5mm drive height for proper use, whether you need a 9.5mm drive height for a dock, camera, server, device, PC, or external drive. This adapter is not needed for 2.5-inch drive installations that use the standard side or bottom mounting positions to secure the drive in place, and is not needed for any installation of a 7mm drive in Apple Macintosh computers.

While a 6G SSD does function, it will only do so at SATA Revision 1.0 (1.5Gb/s, 150MB/s) speeds rather that the SATA Revision 2.0 (3.0Gb/s 300MB/s) speed the computer can deliver. Phone us for more information.
