Product information

Description

The OWC Aura Pro 6G 500 GB Mini PCI Express SSD is an upgrade designed for MacBook Pro with Retina display that increases storage capacity and improves performance compared with factory drives. With a Mini PCIe form factor and 6 Gbit/s interface, this 500 GB SSD delivers up to 530 MB/s read and 494 MB/s write speeds, providing faster data access and larger usable storage for systems that shipped with smaller factory SSDs.

Advantages

The Aura Pro 6G uses 3D TLC NAND and an updated controller to run cooler and use less power, which can help preserve battery life. It offers significantly larger capacity options compared to base MacBook Pro models, higher sequential read and write speeds than many factory SSDs, and includes firmware features such as SLC caching for burst performance, global wear leveling to extend lifespan, data refresh to maintain integrity, and ECC protection with LDPC decoding for error correction. The drive supports AES 128/256-bit full-drive encryption and is tested for reliability.

Suitable for

Upgrading MacBook Pro with Retina display to larger storage capacity
Replacing a failing or low-capacity internal SSD in compatible MacBooks
Users needing faster sequential read/write performance for everyday tasks
DIY upgrades where Mini PCI Express SSD form factor is required

Usage recommendations

Ensure your MacBook Pro model supports a Mini PCI Express SATA SSD before purchase. Back up all data before replacing the internal drive. After installation, use Disk Utility to format the drive as APFS or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) according to your macOS version, and keep firmware and OS updates current to maintain compatibility and performance.
