Accelerate your Desktop - Add the Speed of Solid State and SATA III to your Desktop PC or Mac Pro®
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 to the next level. Simple to install and with PCIe 2.0 data transfer speeds up to 400 MB/sec*, the Velocity Solo x1 enables you to experience the blazing speed of an SSD in your desktop via a super fast SATA III connection. Utilizing an Asmedia 1061 controller chip, the Velocity Solo X1 is bootable in both PC and Mac systems.

Takes just minutes to install

The Velocity Solo x1 takes just minutes to install. Simply connect your Solid State Drive to the Velocity Solo and slide the card into an available PCIe x1 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.

Ideal for High Performance Applications and Improving Gaming Performance

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.

SSDs Improve Game 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.

Boot in an instant, open applications in a flash, slash save and import times

Blending Performance and Capacity – Apricorn’s EZ Gig Cloning Software with Data Select makes it easy

The Solo is bundled with Apricorn’s EZ Gig Cloning software with Data Select. Data Select provides a simple method to deselect data folders from the cloning process which is helpful when migrating from a large HDD to a smaller SSD and perfect for creating a Boot Disk. This gives you the option to run your OS and applications from a fast, smaller SSD boot drive, while keeping your documents and media files on your original hard drive.
Step 1
Select your Source driveThis is your computer’s internal drive and is denoted by the prefix IDE
Step 2
Select your Destination driveThis is your SSD connected to your computer by Apricorn’s Velocity Solo
Optional
Data Select toolSelect any folders you wish to exclude from the clone, such as photos, videos, music or documents. This is helpful when migrating from a large HDD to a smaller SSD or when creating a Boot Disk.
Step 3
Press the "Start Clone" buttonEZ Gig will clone everything (with the exception of any folders you deselected) to the SSD drive on the Velocity Solo. It really is that simple
