a leading zero emissions Mac® and PC technology company, announced today it has
released a new firmware version-MP5.0.1-to deliver optimum performance and stability

Aura® Pro SSD models.
The Only Mac Friendly Update Experience
OWC's proprietary firmware updater, now available with support for all of Apple's
latest Mac models, as well as nearly all prior machines, eliminates the need
for a PC, ownership of Windows or other operating system, or the creation of
a specially designated drive partition that many SSD updaters have required.
Mac users only need to download the updater from OWC's site, obtain and burn
a DVD, and then boot from that DVD to launch an easy to use, point and click
GUI for installing the latest firmware revision to their OWC Mercury SSD. OWC's
Mac-friendly firmware updater continues OWC's unmatched firmware update support
for Mac users of SandForce®-based SSDs. OWC also provides update support for
PCs running the Windows or Linux OS.
"We recognized SSDs would be an ever-evolving product, so we made it our priority
to ensure users of OWC Mercury brand SSDs would immediately be able to utilize
the benefit from any hardware and/or firmware updates," said Larry O'Connor,
Founder and CEO, Other World Computing. "As such, this latest firmware update
is quick, easy and performed with no guesswork or doubt via the only point and
click Mac-friendly updater; as well as standard upgrade packages for Windows
and Linux Operating System users."
