DESCRIPTION:

Tight deadlines, long nights, and terabytes of media – your Mac has been with you through it all. If storage is tight, there’s no reason to ditch the Mac you know and love. The Aura® Pro X2 Gen4 SSD gives you up to 16 times more space and the speed to keep up with your imagination today and tomorrow. Upgrade your Mac with Aura Pro X2 Gen4 SSD for a fraction of the cost of a new model and keep your Mac running for years.

Aura Pro X2 Gen4 combines speed, stamina, and efficiency that will change the way you experience your Mac. With read speeds reaching 807MB/s and write speeds of 778MB/s, the 500GB Aura Pro X2 Gen4 is up to twice as fast as the original SSDs, delivering performance on par with the latest models. It runs cooler and consumes less power than earlier SSD models, so you can run at peak for longer than ever.

When it’s go time, getting off the line and maintaining a high level of performance are equally important. Aura Pro X2 Gen4 is engineered with advanced SLC caching, providing instant full-speed write acceleration, meaning those media projects and games stream fluidly and respond without lag time. You might even forget what that beachball looks like.

Aura Pro X2 Gen4 is designed for the latest macOS versions (macOS High Sierra 10.13 and later), taking full advantage of the advanced features of APFS including strong encryption, copy-on-write metadata, space sharing, cloning for files and directories, snapshots, fast directory sizing, atomic safe-save primitives, and improved file system fundamentals.
