Upgrade your system to the latest SATA III interface (6Gbs) and add a high speed SSD to boost the performance to the max.Take your desktop PC or Mac Pro to the extreme with the Velocity Solo x2. Simple to install and with PCIe 2.0 data transfer speeds up to 550 MB/sec with a single SSD and up to 800 MB/sec when configured with two drives*, the Velocity Solo x2 enables you to experience the blazing speed of an SSD in your desktop via a super fast SATA III connection. The Velocity Solo x2 utilizes a Marvel 9182 chipset and is bootable in both PC and Mac systems.
The Velocity Solo x2 takes just minutes to install. Simply connect your Solid State Drive to the Velocity Solo and slide the card into an available PCIe x2 slot (or larger) in your desktop. Once installed, transfer your OS and applications from your desktop hard drive to your new SSD using Apricorn’s EZ Gig cloning software for PC systems, or for the Mac Pro use Apple's built-in Disk Utility. For additional capacity, the Velocity Solo also provides an additional SATA III data connection that can be used to connect to another SSD or hard drive.
Running your OS and applications on an SSD provides a measureable performance increase, but the Velocity Solo is also the perfect upgrade for improving gaming performance.
As games become too large for their assets to be fully cached on modern graphics cards and main memory, the addition of an SSD for faster disk access during game play results in less in-game pauses and a smoother playing experience. Games are also faster to load and save when using an SSD.
