Standby power benefits to extend battery life for laptop road warriors

The Mercury SSD line features:

Global wear leveling algorithms automatically distribute data evenly and manage program/erase count, maximizing SSD lifespan.
Static data refresh technology manages free space, gradually refreshing data across the SSD over time, preventing data corruption.
Hardware ECC corrects errors for superior data retention and drive life.
S.M.A.R.T and TRIM command support.
Standby power benefits to extend battery life for laptop road warriors.

High-Performance Internal Storage
This 6G SATA SSD delivers fast, reliable performance. It works as a hard drive upgrade internally and in bus-powered or self-powered external enclosures (any Mac, PC, or enclosure that supports 2.5" SATA drives, must support 7mm drive height).

OWC SSDs have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers near instantaneous system response. With real world speeds over to 500MB/s, the OWC Mercury Electra 6G SSD line delivers unbeatable performance.

Use of a 2.5-inch SSD in a 3.5-inch drive bay requires an adapter bracket such as the NewerTech AdaptaDrive: here
Use of any SSD in an external enclosure is dependent on the power available from the enclosure: OWC Mercury Electra 6G and Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSDs are engineered for use in any OWC Enclosure that supports 2.5-inch SSDs.

Special Note: For specific 2009 iMacs, 2008-2010 MacBooks, 2008-2009 MacBook Pros, and 2009 Mac mini models, we highly recommend using a SATA 2.0 (3Gb/s) SSD, such as the OWC Mercury Electra 3G.
Recommended Models:

iMac Models: iMac9,1, iMac10,1, iMac11,1
MacBook Models: MacBook5,1, MacBook5,2, MacBook6,1, MacBook7,1
MacBook Pro Models: MacBookPro5,1, MacBookPro5,2, MacBookPro5,3, MacBookPro5,4, MacBookPro5,5
Mac mini Models: Macmini3,1, Macmini4,1

Performance Note: While a 6G SSD functions in these models, it will only operate at SATA Revision 1.0 (1.5Gb/s, 150MB/s) speeds, rather than the full SATA Revision 2.0 (3.0Gb/s, 300MB/s) speed these computers can support. The OWC Mercury Electra 3G SSD is the recommended upgrade to achieve optimal performance.

Compatibility: The OWC SSD Mercury Electra 6G Model is compatible with almost any Mac or PC model with a Serial ATA connection (SATA, SATA 2.0, or SATA 3.0). Compatible MacBook Pro models include:

OWC Mercury Electra 2.5-inch SATA III SSD 7mm Solid-State Drive

Delivery in good time. A day later I ordered the cable to go with it and they both arrived a day later... superb.
Has improved the performance of my MPro so well worth the effort. Apple certainly donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t make it easy for an amateur to change items within the MPro.

250GB OWC Mercury Electra 6Gb/s 2.5-inch SSD Serial-ATA 7mm Solid-State Drive

After reading a number of articles to Speed up my Mac Pro 1.1 it recommended that one should buy a OWC SSD drive Mercury Electra 6G. Really fast drive. I bought one online from Flexx Memory, great value, very fast service ordered the previous morning, came the next day, what a service. I can highly recommend this company and will purchase from them again.
