The OWC Accelsior S PCIe Adapter for 2.5" SATA III SSD Drives and OWC 120GB Mercury Electra 6G SSD is a simple solution to add a high-speed SATA 6G drive to your Mac Pro tower or PC. Combining the high-performance Mercury Electra SSD with the Accelsior S, this DIY bundle delivers cutting-edge 6G performance to SATA 3G systems.
The Mercury Electra 6G SSD line offers unbeatable performance, with peak sustained data rates exceeding 500MB/s and 100 times greater data protection than enterprise-class hard disk drives. Featuring RAISE technology for RAID-like data protection and reliability, these SSDs provide incredibly fast startup and response times.
The Accelsior S, a dual-lane PCIe 2.0 card, enables flexible and lightning-fast storage expansion for your Mac or PC, delivering over 500MB/s of throughput. This makes it the perfect complement to OWC's high-performance Mercury SSD family, allowing up to an additional 1TB of fast storage.
Upgrading your Mac Pro or PC tower with a Mercury Extreme Pro and Accelsior S is a straightforward process, as no additional drivers or software are required. The Accelsior S is compatible with a wide range of Mac Pro and Xserve models, as well as PCIe-capable Intel/AMD-based PCs and servers.
When used together, the Accelsior S and the 120GB Mercury Electra 6G SSD are compatible with the MacPro5,1, MacPro4,1, MacPro3,1, MacPro2,1, and MacPro1,1 series. However, it's important to note that the performance of the Accelsior S is dependent on the PCIe slot configuration in your system.
The 120GB Mercury Electra 6G SSD features a SandForce 2281 Series controller with 7% over-provisioning, Tier 1 asynchronous MLC NAND flash, and a standard 7mm 2.5" form factor. It supports SATA 6Gb/s, 3Gb/s, and 1.5Gb/s, and is SATA 3.0 compliant. With a total flash memory capacity of 128GB and 8GB allocated for real-time data redundancy and error correction, the usable capacity is 120GB (111GiB).
The Mercury Electra 6G SSD delivers impressive performance, with sustained read speeds up to 556MB/s and sustained write speeds up to 523MB/s at 6Gb/s. It also offers high random 4K read and write performance, up to 60,000 IOPS, and low read and write latencies of less than 0.1ms.
The Accelsior S itself is a half-height, half-length PCIe 2.0 x2 card, featuring an Asmedia 1062 HBA controller. It is AHCI compliant and requires no drivers, supporting plug-and-play installation. The Accelsior S can accommodate all 2.5" SATA 1.5Gb/s, 3.0Gb/s, and 6.0Gb/s HDD and SSD drives, with read performance up to 550MB/s and write performance up to 530MB/s, depending on the installed mechanism.
