![]() NOTE: You can continue to use your factory flash blade in the OWC Envoy Pro USB 3.0 bus powered enclosure. ![]() If an extremely fast storage transfer function is required, no matter what internal flash option you choose, you can get even faster speeds with the Thunderbolt 2.0 storage solutions like the OWC Accelsior_E2/Helios 2 expansion and the LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2.0. More choice is always a good thing for consumers the OWC Mercury Pro Aura Express SSD adds a viable option compared to the stock SSD found in the current generation of the Apple MacBook Air. Under the hood is an OWC M.242 Aura M-key PCIe 3.1 x 4 NVMe TLC SSD capable of nearly 3000MBps sequential read/write internal transfers. The OWC Envoy Pro Elektron is a well-made SSD that tops out the abilities of USB-C 3.2 ports for excellent read and write speeds. It does an excellent job on larger files courtesy of the SSD cache and Phison E13T controller. That's because those functions are CPU and/or GPU bound. Using a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 (Thunderbolt 4), it achieves maximum USB-C 3.2 Geb 3 rates. Yet when it comes to real world pro apps like DaVinci Resolve, exporting and playback functions we tried produced the same elapsed times as the factory flash blade. The benchmark results above obviously show that the Aura SSD for Mac Pro is not as fast as the factory flash storage (except when it comes to small random reads). The big story here is that the Aura SSD offers internal storage expansion for the 'late 2013' Mac Pro beyond what the Apple factory offers.
