Details
When only the fastest and most reliable Solid State Drive on the market today will suffice for your data storage and backup, look no further than the OWC 120GB Mercury Electra 6G SSD.

The Mercury SSD line features industry leading SandForce® DuraClass™ Technologies:
- DuraWrite™ extends the endurance of your Solid State Drive (SSD).
- Intelligent Block Management & Wear Leveling automatically distributes data evenly across the entire SSD.
- Intelligent Read Disturb Management spreads the active read/write across the flash components eliminating data corruption caused by constant use.
- Intelligent "Recycling" for advanced free space management gradually re-writes data across the SSD over time to ensure data never gets corrupted.
- RAISE™ (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) protects the data on your drive similar to having a RAID setup.
- Best-in-Class ECC Protection for longest data retention and drive life.

This internal 2.5" SATA SSD uses the latest SandForce 2281 Processor and DuraClass™ technology to deliver the highest transfer speed, endurance, and performance available today.

With sustained reads up to 556MB/s and writes up to 523MB/s, up to 100X greater data protection than enterprise class Hard Disk Drives, and RAISE technology for RAID like data protection and reliability, the OWC 120GB Mercury Electra 6G SSD line delivers unbeatable performance that's designed and built in the U.S. from domestic and imported parts and backed by a three year warranty.

Thanks, Great performance boost

Working great in my old Macbook 2.2 core 2 duo which was crawling with an 12 year old fragmented 160GB hard disk.
Cloned the new drive with Mac disk utilities and a housing. Easy to fit with a small philips and small Torx screwdriver following online guides. Massive speed boost in performance, perhaps 3-400% quicker now.

Good but not good for iMac

So far the performance is good. Only problem is it's what's recommended for an iMac. Removing a 3.5 and replacing it with a 2.5 is an issue when I does not fit or mount inside. You will have to fabricate a mount to install it. This does effect the airflow a bit and can cause the fans to run harder.
