Monday, April 6th, 2009 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

OWC provides hardware striped performance RAID-0 arrays, up to a capacity of 3.0TB, in their Mercury Elite-AL Pro Dual RAID Solutions. We’ve lowered the prices to help you meet the performance demands of video and audio production more cost-effectively.

The Elite-AL Pro RAID is a sleek and compact Aluminum design (9.3″ Long x 2.8″ Wide x 5.6″ High). These Elites are fully A/V Certified as well as EMC Retrospect Backup Certified for all your Audio/Video, Backup (Time Machine Ready), Graphics, Music, and General Data needs. With 2-FW800 ports, 1-FW400 port, and 1-USB 2.0/1.1 port, these bootable solutions provide excellent data accessibility via any of the available interface ports, with complete interoperability with read/write functionality and accessibility.

All the solutions include TWO 7200RPM drives and a retail version of Prosoft Data Backup 3 ($59 retail value) for OS X and NovaStor NovaBACKUP ($49 retail value) for Windows. Also included is the complete Intech HD SpeedTools performance suite. These applications are not required to use the Elite, but are great to have in your Utilities folder. Unlike other hard drive solutions, we also supply the FireWire 800 connecting cable, FireWire 400 connecting cable, USB connecting cable, plus a 2 Year+ Warranty.

You can see the full line up of our Elite-AL Pro Striped RAID-0 SATA drive arrays on the site. Rebates are available for some of the 2TB solutions.

If you’d prefer to build add your own hard drives, we also offer the OWC Elite-AL Pro RAID Enclosure Kits from $109.99. You can configure these drives for different RAID and non-RAID modes.
