Review on OWC 250GB Mercury Electra 3G SSD, 2.5-inch SATA 7mm Solid State Drive by Brandon Castano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

a huge improvement over the original drive

I installed it on an old MacBook Pro with the hard drive configured for SATA 1.5MB/s and even then the drive probably couldn't interface evade. I cloned the drive with a "toaster style" SATA cloner/enclosure, plugged the SSD into the MBP and was amazed at how much faster it booted up and launched applications or performed other I/O tasks. The system information panel confirmed that the SATA interface was set to 3 MB/s. I am very happy with this update.

Pros
  • perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • sad packaging
