The
120GB Mercury Accelsior PCI Express Solid State Drive Card from
Other World Computing
is the world's first bootable PCI Express solid state drive card for
both Mac and Windows. This high-performance SSD is bootable on PCs and
is Mac-bootable, Mac supported PCIe SSD. You will actually be able to boot from the Mercury Accelsior
without having to install any drivers because it's a true Plug and Play
solution. With its custom SandForce Driven Accelsior SSD blades, the
Mercury Accelsior card enables Mac and PC users to enjoy a more
responsive and productive computing experience along with cooler,
quieter and more energy efficient operation, especially when compared to
traditional mechanical hard disk drives.
Offering nearly three
times the performance of a regular solid state drive in a SATA 2.0 3Gb/s
drive bay, the Mercury Accelsior is perfect for I/O-intensive
applications, such as Photoshop, Final Cut Pro and Avid Pro Tools.
Rendering, capturing and processing media files require high sustained
data transfer speeds and the Mercury Accelsior delivers with up to a
758MB/s read speed and up to a 743MB/s write speed. Keep in mind that
those speeds are when the Mercury Accelsior is connected to a Sandy
Bridge Intel processor. It can have a sustained read speed of up to
761MB/s and a sustained write speed of up to 761MB/s when connected to
an Ivy Bridge processor.
