The VisionTek PCIe Low-Profile Solid State Drive (240GB) provides fast SSD performance for desktop PC and Mac computers. It enhances booting, saving, launching, and multi-tasking speed. The PCIe SSD incorporates the reliability and performance of two LSI SandForce processors utilizing the DuraClass technology in a RAID 0 (stripe) configuration to deliver high-speed data transfer rates up to 815 MB/s. It installs easily into any open PCIe x2 or higher slot for high bandwidth. It meets the needs of games, spreadsheets, and video editing.

The PCIe SSD's robust ECC algorithm and RAISE technology protect those irreplaceable files while efficient block management and reduced write amplification ensure long drive lifespan. Drive health is monitored using an SSD-specific set of S.M.A.R.T. attributes. The combination of these techniques provides data storage protection.

• Silent and cool operation without any moving parts
• Low operating and standby power use
• Shock, vibration, and temperature resistance
• High IOPS per Watt improvement
• Up to 50x faster than HDD with virtually zero spin-up or seek times
• Designed to deliver SATA 6G speeds, yet backward compatible to SATA 3G and 1.5G
• Long lifetime use of up to 1.5 million hours
• Configurable RAID modes include RAID 0/stripe (default), RAID 1/mirror
• Native Command Queuing (NCQ), DuraClass technology, DuraWrite technology, RAISE technology, advanced read disturb management, thermal threshold management, intelligent block management and wear leveling, intelligent data retention optimization, 55-bit BCH ECC

• DuraWrite feature extends the drive endurance by 20x or more
• Advanced wear leveling & monitoring distributes data evenly across the entire drive
• Advanced read/disturb management safeguards against data corruption by spreading read/write cycles across the flash components
• Intelligent garbage collection recycling technique maintains optimal write speeds by clearing blocks of unneeded data during off-peak usage times
• RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) protects the data on your drive from flash block failures without typical RAID inefficiencies
• Error Correction Code (ECC) protection for long data retention and drive life

• Power users
• Home offices
• Gamers
• Digital Photographers
• Creative Professionals

Q: 1. How is the drive formatted?

A: HTFS + (Mac journalled)

Q: 2. Will this flash drive work with a Mac OS X ?

A: It comes formatted for PC (fat-32) and it is ready for use on Mac OS X for both read and write. But if you need it be bootable on Mac, you need to format it to Mac format(GUID partition) by using the Disk Utility.

Q: 3. Is it configured to appear as a fixed drive or a removable drive...i.e., is it usable as a boot drive?

A: It will appear as a removable disk every time you use it. I made mine bootable and is working fine. No complaints at all.
