It has been a while since we heard from OWC, over a year since Al saw their offerings at Storage Vision, so it is interesting to see a new PCIe SSD from them. Their days of Sandforce are over, two SMI 2246 XT 4-channel controllers are paired with a Marvell 9230 RAID controller which allows the four unbranded 256GB MLC flash chips to act as a 1TB RAID 0 drive. The SSD Reviews found the Macbook Air upgrade drive to run slightly slower than the original 256GB SSD but with quadruple the storage the slight slow down is offset by the extra space. Check out the Aura drive if you have a Mac in need of upgrade, or if you are simply interested in a tiny 1TB SSD.
"Because of its limited storage capacity and Apples horrendous cost for upgrades, it was very close to being replaced, at least until OWC contacted me a week ago asking if we might like to review their latest 1TB Aura PCIe SSD replacement for mid-2013 and later MacBooks."
Here are some more Storage reviews from around the web:
- PNY CS2211 XLR8 240GB @ eTeknix
- Kingston DataTraveler Micro 3.1 128GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 Flash Drive Review @ NikKTech
- Synology DiskStation DS216+ NAS @ Modders-Inc
- Kingston DataTraveler 2000 32GB Encrypted USB Drive Review @ OCC
OWC is a joke. They rape
OWC is a joke. They rape Apple fags. That’s it. That’s all they do. You can get a good, high quality Intel, or Corsair SSD that is actually reliable, for less than the shitty, shitty, cheap, OWC Drives. This write up isba fail. Especially because no one on here gives a fuck about Apple shit. At least, I hope there’s no Mac fags on here.

Is that a standard Key E M.2
Is that a standard Key E M.2 configuration or does Apple take an E keyed connector and have multiple contacts on several of the pins.
(It’s been a while since I installed my M.2 drives on my non-Apple products, but I don’t remember multiple contact points on a pin.)
“You can get a good, high
“You can get a good, high quality Intel, or Corsair SSD that is actually reliable, for less than the shitty, shitty, cheap, OWC Drives”
And it won’t work because Apple decided to use a propriatory connector on their PCIE SSDs.
Keep posting, though. You’re inane comments are of the utmost quality.
