OWC 2TB Accelsior Pro 1M2

Repurposes an Apple factory flash drive from most 2013 to 2019 Mac models into a high-performance PCIe SSD

Reuse and maximiseAs SSDs become more affordable and content continues to grow, you've probably upgraded your Mac to a higher-capacity drive. With the Accelsior 1A PCIe adapter card, you can reuse that Apple factory SSD as a fast PCIe SSD to maximise your storage/backup space and your technology investment.

Expanded high-speed storage
The Accelsior 1A is a Plug and Play solution that gives new life to the often discarded factory SSD inside a 2019 Mac Pro 2019, Mac Pro 2012 and 2010, or tower PC with an open PCIe slot. You can even put that drive back to work externally in a PCIe expansion chassis like the OWC Mercury Helios 3S. (sold separately). By delivering the full speed and performance potential of the factory SSD over PCIe, the Accelsior 1A will allow you to enjoy
- Near-instantaneous boot-up and launch of business-critical applications
- Real-time processing of transfer-intensive tasks such as multistream video editing
- Shorter rendering, capture and processing times in video suites such as Adobe Premier, Final Cut Pro/Pro X, DaVinci Resolve and Avid Pro Tools
- Faster production capabilities on photo and audio platforms such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Apple Logic Pro X
- Faster game level loading, responsiveness and save times
- More years of use from the current machine vs. a much more expensive new machine

Adaptable and easy
Compatible with PCIe 3.0/2.0/1.0 motherboards and able to connect to PCIe x4/x8/x16 slots, the low-profile Accelsior 1A adapter card is a perfect performance upgrade for a wide variety of full-size and small form factor PCs. It converts an Apple factory SSD - and even OWC Aura SSDs - into an extended high-speed storage solution in three easy steps:

- Insert your SSD into the Accelsior 1A connector port.
- Attach the SSD to the Accelsior 1A with the supplied screw.
- Install the Accelsior 1A in an open PCIe x4 slot or higher.

Data transfer rate performance will vary depending on the SSD used, CPU capabilities, and PCIe generation slot used.
