Extend Life of MacBook Pro Retina 2.0TB With OWC Aura Pro 2.0TB SSD Hard Drive Upgrade

MacSales.com/Other World Computing has announced availability of the new OWC 2.0TB Aura Pro Solid State Drive for mid-2012 to early 2013 Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display. One of the fastest internal SSDs available on the market, the Aura Pro SSD is also compatible with 2010-2012 MacBook Air.

The Aura Pro 2.0TB SSD upgrade frees up and boosts capacity on the internal hard drive at over five years of MacBook Pro ownership. The Aura Pro drive is also available as a kit with an Envoy Pro enclosure to immediately reuse an Apple internal hard drive, creating a new external USB 3.1 Gen1 portable drive.

Many Mac users love to extend the life of their Macs, and hard drive upgrade mid-life is a great way to create storage space for files, apps and software upgrades. Higher-capacity SSDs often bring faster transfer rates, so user data is readily accessible. OWC says it is once again providing Mac users with THE upgrade solution delivering performance, functionality and reliability.

The OWC Aura Pro gives users the freedom to upgrade capacity to meet their storage needs.

  • Hardware BCH ECC corrects errors up to 66-bit/1KB for superior data retention and drive health.
