Mercury Electra™ 3G
2.5" Serial-ATA 7mm Solid-state Drive

For High Speed Performance and Reliability

Mercury Electra SSDs deliver the latest in flash NAND and controller technology, utilizing SLC and 3D NAND for long-lasting, power-efficient performance. They offer a powerful combination of performance and reliability for demanding everyday computer users.

The Mercury SSD line features:

Global wear leveling algorithms automatically distribute data evenly and manage program/erase count, maximizing SSD lifespan.
StaticDataRefresh manages free space, gradually refreshing data across the SSD over time, preventing data corruption.
Hardware BCH ECC corrects errors up to 66-bit/1KB for superior data retention and drive life.
S.M.A.R.T and TRIM command support
Standby power benefits to extend battery life for laptop road warriors

This 3G SATA SSD delivers fast, reliable performance. It works as a hard drive upgrade internally and in bus-powered or self-powered external enclosures (any Mac, PC, or enclosure that supports 2.5" SATA drives, must support 7mm drive height).

With sequential reads up to 271MB/s and random reads up to 90K IOPS, the OWC Mercury Electra 3G SSD line delivers unbeatable performance that's backed by a 3 Year OWC Limited Warranty.

OWC SSDs have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers near instantaneous system response.

1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). The actual total capacity will depend on your own defined file settings/preferences.
Temperature reporting is currently an unsupported feature because due to the operating characteristics of SSDs, it is highly unlikely one would ever exceed an OWC Mercury SSD's stated operating temperature ceiling of 158F/70C. However, we are looking into supporting this feature in the future via a firmware update. Firmware updates can be found here: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/OWC/SSD.
