OWC redesigned its 3rd generation of OWC Aura Pro 6G SSDs with premium 3D NAND Flash and the latest controller technology to operate cooler and consume less power, resulting in improved battery life for your MacBook Air. Other World Computing (OWC), a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company, announced today the industrys first 6G SSD upgrade for the 2011 Apple MacBook Air 11.1' and 13.3'models. MacBook Air (2010) - Get 3G speeds up to 275MB/s, 1.3x faster than factory original*.MacBook Air (2011) - Get 6G speeds up to 530MB/s, 2.5x faster than factory original*.Increase capacity up to 8x the 13-inch base models.Increase capacity up to 16x the 11-inch base models.Hence OWCs Aura 6G SSD should guarantee a healthy performance boost in disk intensive tasks, although the difference will. OWC Aura Pro SSDs provide a noticeable increase in performance over the factory SSDs for all MacBook Air models: The SATA interface in 2011 MBAs is 6Gb/s, but Apple is using 3Gb/s SSDs. More Speed, More Capacity for MacBook Air

For most people, there is no reason to upgrade the SSD but in case you have for example the base 11" with 64GB SSD and more space is needed, OWC's offerings might come handy. Hence OWC's Aura 6G SSD should guarantee a healthy performance boost in disk intensive tasks, although the difference will most likely be negligible in everyday operations.

In January, OWC released Mercury Aura Pro Express 3G series for 2010 MacBook Airs so this announcement is a logical follow-up of that. The SATA interface in 2011 MBAs is 6Gb/s, but Apple is using 3Gb/s SSDs. Prices are $350 and $600 respectively and they ship in 24 hours. OWC claims speeds of up to 507MB/s read and 454MB/s write, which is about twice as fast as what the Samsung SSD used in some MBAs provides. The SSD controller is the same as found in OWC's Mercury 6G SSDs: SF-2281. The SSDs are branded as Mercury Aura Pro Express 6G and come in capacities of 120GB and 240GB. OWC has released SSD upgrades suitable for Apple's MacBook Air ( our 2011 review).
