Extend your SSD Upgrade Path

After you add a higher capacity OWC Aura PCIe SSD to your Mac, the Accelsior 1A PCIe Adapter Card completes the upgrade path. Use your old drive to add more internal storage and unlock performance capabilities in any machine with an available PCIe slot, including Mac Pro towers, desktop PCs, and more.

Perfect Outside Too

If you only need occasional drive access, you might not want to use an internal PCIe slot. Lucky for you, the OWC Accelsior 1A can be used with an external PCIe expansion chassis, like the fast, flexible OWC Mercury Helios 3S with Thunderbolt 3.3 It's perfect for quick access - just load in your Accelsior 1A and SSD, plug the chassis into a Thunderbolt 3 enabled computer, and start using your drive.
