OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express ups MacBook Air to 480GB drive

OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express gets 480GB version

Other World Computing has answered one of the more common calls among MacBook Air owners and has put out a 480GB version of its Mercury Aura Pro Express. The new solid-state drive doubles the storage of its SATA3-based, 6Gbps model line. As with other SSDs, more capacity doesn’t mean a sacrifice in speed, and it can deliver as much as 500MB per second in peak transfer speeds.

Apple’s stock SSDs in current-generation Airs usually stop at around half the maximum speed. OWC gets to the faster speed by using a modern SandForce memory controller. Although it doesn’t officially support the TRIM command to optimize the drive, it’s touted as having its own data block management techniques to keep the SSD fast throughout its lifespan.

The drive works with either size of MacBook Air and has a cost roughly in line with other 480GB SSDs at about $ 1,149. Users have to install the drive themselves, but they’re given instructions and a three-year warranty in case the drive itself is faulty. OWC is shipping today.

Arcade classics of the past get a new lease of life with the Namco app for iPad, offering a free game every day. Get your retro on!

Namco has launched an app for iOS devices that allows users access to a host of coin-op arcade classics from the 80s.

The Namco Arcade application for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch will allow you to play one of its old school hits for free every day, or pay an in-app subscription for permenant access to the titles.

Among the games that have already been “faithfully restored” to their former glories are Xevious, The Tower of Druaga, Motos and Phozon with plenty more titles to follow.

Gamers can also buy virtual coins to unlock additional plays, giving the game a little bit more of an arcade-esque feel and allowing Namco to squeeze a little bit more cash out of its archives.

The Namco app follows the launch of the similar Atari classics app for iPad.
