Overview

OWC Aura Pro X2 Gen4 NVMe SSD Upgrade Solution

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 16 x 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 2 x 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 + High-Style

Your upgrade should be a seamless experience. That's why Aura Pro X2 SSD Upgrade Kits come with OWC Envoy Pro — the beautifully designed, high-performance SSD enclosure to reimagine your stock drive.

When you remove your Mac’s original flash SSD, it fits perfectly into the sleek aluminium Envoy Pro. So you can transfer all of your data to your newly installed Aura Pro X2 inside your Mac. Once the file transfer is complete, enjoy reusing your Mac's original flash SSD as a svelte, fast, and rugged portable USB drive.

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.

7% Over-Provisioning

OWC SSDs perform maintenance tasks in the background that optimise the health, performance, and endurance of your drive. These tasks utilise available unwritten space on the SSD. Aura Pro X2 SSDs reserve 7% of the overall drive capacity as free space to perform these normal maintenance tasks — making your drive a stable, dependable, and safe place to store all of your data.
