Product Information
Overview
OWC Aura Pro X2
Complete internal flash/SSD drive upgrade kit with tools & 1.0TB OWC Express USB 3.0 portable storage solution.
Your Mac. More Space. Twice as Fast
A Mac’s small stock SSD can fill up quickly — especially with photos, video files, games, and even your email. When storage gets tight, there's no reason to ditch the Mac you know and love. The OWC Aura Pro X2 provides up to 16x more capacity, and the speed to keep up with your imagination. With that capacity and power, you can keep your Mac running optimally for years — all at a fraction of the cost of buying new.
Blazing Fast and Super Cool
Aura Pro X2 combines speed, stamina, and efficiency that will change the way you experience your Mac. With read speeds reaching 2989MB/s and write speeds of 1208MB/s, Aura Pro X2 is up to 2x faster than the factory Apple SSD, delivering performance on par with the latest Mac models. Calibrated to use less power and run cooler, Aura Pro X2 SSDs are the best way to upgrade your Mac.
High-Performance + Extra Storage
Your new internal storage upgrade should be a seamless experience. That's why Aura Pro X2 SSD upgrade kits come with a 1TB OWC Express USB portable storage solution. With this solution you get the best of two worlds — a new super fast internal SSD and a new 1TB external drive. Before your upgrade, back up your data to ensure a trouble-free SSD install. After your upgrade, you'll have a spacious, portable drive for data storage or backup purposes.
15 Minute DIY Upgrade
Transform your Mac with Aura Pro X2 speed and capacity. OWC install videos guide you step-by-step through the install process. Plus, their award-winning support team is just a call or chat away.
Enhanced Burst Performance
In addition to groundbreaking read and write speeds, the Aura Pro X2 is engineered with enhanced burst performance for instant full-speed write acceleration. Media projects and games stream fluidly and respond without lag on Aura Pro X2 enhanced Macs. You might even forget what that beachball looks like.
Built For Your Mac
Aura Pro X2 is designed for macOS to take full advantage of the advanced features of APFS (Apple File System) including: strong encryption, copy-on-write metadata, space sharing, cloning for files and directories, snapshots, fast directory sizing, atomic safe-save primitives, and improved file system fundamentals. All that adds up to one heckuva drive that’s built to make your Mac perform at its best.
