The most important thing to note here is that these prices only reflect prebuilt systems at the time of purchase. If we look on the Apple website, it appears that upgrade prices may be reasonable as the difference when choosing a 128GB system rather than 64GB is only $100, 256GB rather than 128GB is $300 and 512GB over 256GB is $500. Pricing is also an important factor to consider and the OWC Aura Pro is available at prices of $167.99 (120GB), $224.99 (180GB), $319.99 (240GB) and $644.99 (480GB) at OWC. Even comparing the Aura Pro to the Toshiba Apple TS128E SSD which is also ‘LSI SandForce Driven’, the Aura Pro had no problem showing its colors as the best performing SSD on the market for the 2012 MBA. A straightforward comparison against the stock Samsung Apple SM256E SSD shows that, although the Samsung may be faster when transferring incompressible data at high sequential levels, the OWC Aura Pro walked away with every other performance comparison thrown at it. Perhaps the thing that astounded us the most, with respect to the OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express 6G 240GB SSD, was the fact that it’s performance of 91,273 IOPS was the highest we have ever achieved from a typical SSD.
