Product Information

Overview

OWC Aura Ultra III

Aura Ultra III NVMe M.2 SSD gears up your system for media heavy projects or breakthroughs in your favourite hardware-punishing games. Using NVMe technology designed for flash memory, Aura Ultra III provides a perfectly optimised blend of speed and reliability features to reach speeds up to 3400MB/s, so you can stream high-res video and graphics files without a glitch. With a built-in SLC caching technique, the drive delivers ultra-fast write speeds up to 3000MB/s optimised to endure your render queue.

Inside-Out Versatility

Aura Ultra III is a versatile SSD that's at home in an enclosure or loaded on your PC's motherboard. In an external drive, Aura Ultra III offers dependable speed and data protection for on-location downloads of large media files – 8K video, high-res photo, and audio files. With faster data transfer in the field, you can quickly get to the next phase of your project.

Internally, Aura Ultra III adds a new performance dimension to your PC that can equate to faster previews, renders and processing in audio and VFX programs. Gaming with Aura Ultra III creates a new realm of speed and responsiveness, giving you an extra edge on the competition.

Built to Outlast

Engineered with fail-safes, Aura Ultra III is optimised for the best and longest working life, especially in write-intensive workflows. From running double checks on data and correcting errors to ensuring the uniform use of its flash media, this SSD is calibrated for endurance as a factory pre-set.

Aura Ultra III is over-provisioned at 7%, meaning it has extra NAND cells on standby to increase longevity and preserve performance.

Optimised for work and play, Aura Ultra III is backed by OWC's industry-leading warranty and free USA-based lifetime support. OWC’s support teams are available to answer questions, troubleshoot, and help you get the most from your new SSD.
