Up to 4x More Storage Capacity

The Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G is the capacity giant that crushes all other SATA SSDs. By stuffing an astounding industry highest 16TB in its 2.5-inch form factor, this SSD lets you utilize up to 4x more storage capacity per drive in your Mac or PC, external drives, storage arrays, and servers.

The Highest Level of Security

Highest-level security protocols are used to ensure data stored in the Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G is safe from loss, theft, or repurposing. Data is automatically stored in AES-256 encryption...the strongest format used by the U.S. government to ensure national security.

Protects Against the Unexpected

Built to deliver enterprise class reliability, the Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G keeps your data safe even during life's unexpected events. SmartFlush™ technology provides the critical additional time to finish a data write in the event of a power loss or system failure.

Uses Less Space and Power

Featuring a 2.5-inch form factor, the Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G takes up 8x less space than a 3.5-inch HDD. And with a miserly 3.8W active/2.0W idle power consumption, it uses 38% less power than a 16TB HDD. Space-saving, cool running, energy efficient...the Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G makes your data storage better in all ways.

Ideal LTO Tape Archiving Staging Drive

Huge volumes of data are stored on LTO tape because it's the lowest cost/longest life storage format. Adding the Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G as a high capacity "staging drive" to LTO archiving solutions like the Mercury Pro LTO enables faster transfer of large data files to the tape drive. Imagine...being able to load up a 12TB LTO-8 tape in one smooth fast process!

Meet the Fastest OWC SSD Ever Built

When OWC launched its first Solid State Drive in 2010, it was engineered to deliver the same attribute formula that Mac and PC users expected from OWC external storage solutions:

High performance + high reliability + affordable price = The OWC Difference

Nearly a decade later, our commitment to that winning formula remains steadfast as we push the boundaries of leading-edge SSD development with the Accelsior 4M2. It's ideal for uncompromised, data intensive, high bandwidth needs like large format video editing, VR/AR/MR environments, high transactional and complex calculation applications, and extreme gaming.

Accelsior 4M2 houses four OWC Aura Ultra III NVMe M.2 SSDs under a finned heat sink cover that provides silent, throttle-free cooling. These "blade" style SSDs utilize Quad-Level Cell (QLC) 3D NAND with SLC caching and a Phison E12 controller with 7% over-provisioning.

All those "ingredients" combine to deliver over 6,000MB/s real-world speed with the highest reliability possible to satisfy the biggest storage performance appetite.

Highly Versatile with Mobile Possibilities

Whether you have the Mac Pro 2019, a Mac Pro 2012 or 2010, or PC tower, Accelsior 4M2 can go to work for you. As a half-length x8/x16 compatible card, this game-changer offers the versatility you need, so you"re not tied to one slot size or limited by a space-confined computer case.

You can also enjoy the performance boosting benefits of Accelsior 4M2 with your Thunderbolt 3-equipped notebook computer, iMac workstation, or slot filled gaming rig. It's plug-and-play easy with a PCIe expansion chassis like theOWC Mercury Helios 3S.
