Description
We at Amiga On The Lake are "extremely excited" to be an official reseller one of the best SSD on the market today! The OCW SSD's have all the block management, wear leveling and over provisioning built into the SSD hardware of the drive it self. This means that it will operate at the best speed for the life of your SSD and is a perfect fast and long lasting drive for running AmigaOS. Many operating systems have the software to handle that task, the AmigaOS and many others do not. With an OWC SSD you are ready to go from day one.
Every AmigaOne computer at Amiga On The Lake uses an OWC SSD Drive, every one!!!!
This is the 240GB Mercury Electra SSD SATA 3G, good for SATA 2.0 as all new AmigaOne hardware has built in. This will be the best, longest lasting and fastest SSD for your new AmigaOne computer!!!240GB Mercury Electra SSD

3Gb/s Performance
Up to 285MB/s data rate. - Ultra-efficient Block Management & Wear Leveling
Prevents write speed degradation commonly experienced by other brands' SSD. - EXTREME Power Efficiency
Uses up to 75% less power than hard drives and up to 50% less power than current SSDs* when active.
- One of the fastest Internal SATA 2.5" SSD with available data rates up to 285MB/s.
- SandForce DuraClass™ technology with Ultra-efficient Block Management & Wear Leveling offers highest endurance, performance, and power efficiency in a SATA SSD.
- SandForce® Processor maximizes read and write performance to greatly extend the endurance and overall reliability of the drive.
- Up to 100X greater data protection than what the highest rated enterprise class conventional hard disk drive (HDD) provides.
- Best in class error correction (ECC) and SandForce RAISE™ (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) technology provides RAID like data protection and reliability without loss of transfer speed due to parity.
- Intelligent "recycling" for advanced free space management

Some of the drive space in OWC SSDs are allocated for RAISE — which provides real time data redundancy, ECC Error Correction, and reserve cell space.
Example: An OWC Pro SSD that's 240GB in size with 7% over-provisioning is actually a 256GB drive with 7% allocated for data management, and to maintain the drive's high-performance level.
Unlike most SSDs on the market today, the Mercury Pro family uses advanced DuraWrite™ wear-leveling and block management technologies to keep Read/Write performance at peak while others see performance fall.- One of the fastest Internal SATA 2.5" SSD with available data rates up to 285MB/s.
