OWC Aura Pro X2 for Mac Pro

This 2 TB internal SSD is built as a custom blade upgrade for the Mac Pro Late 2013. It uses a PCIe 3.1 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface with a Silicon Motion SM2262EN controller and 3D TLC flash. The drive targets users who need more capacity and faster storage on that platform.

Installation kit and thermal management

The package includes the blade SSD, a heat sink, tools and an Envoy Pro enclosure for the original drive. The blade form factor measures 22.00 mm wide, 89.00 mm deep and 2.60 mm high, weighing 8.00 g. Power draw is 0.3 W idle and 5.7 W active, operating from 0 °C to 70 °C.

Best for Mac Pro 2013 owners.

Sequential reads reach 1534 MBps and writes 1353 MBps with a 1,500,000 hour MTBF. The custom blade connector fits only the Mac Pro Late 2013 running macOS 10.13 or later. Builders using standard M.2 2280 slots should choose a different drive.
