Speed up storage with the 4TB Aura Pro IV PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD from OWC . The PCIe 4.0 x4 interface ensures max read speeds of up to 7415 MB/s, sequential read speeds of 7337 MB/s, and max/sequential write speeds of 6800 MB/s, so you can start up your OS almost instantaneously. Transfer large files in a flash and load apps and large music sample libraries in the blink of an eye. TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. support ensure efficient operation while Secure Erase functionality keeps data safe from unauthorized recovery. An M.2 2280 form factor allows for easy compatibility with a wide range of devices, including those running on Windows 10 and later and macOS 10.13 and later. If your system doesn't have a PCIe 4.0 slot, this SSD is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 2.0.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking. Available from $449.99.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) have no ongoing costs and consume minimal power. Their cost of ownership is entirely the upfront price per gigabyte.
Common Failure Modes
SSDs have no moving parts, making them immune to physical shock. Failures occur through flash memory wear-out from writing massive amounts of data or sudden controller death.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking.
SSDs have a finite number of write cycles, usually measured in Terabytes Written (TBW). For average consumers, this limit takes many years to reach.
