New Instructional Videos!

Friday, August 12th, 2011 | Author: OWC Chris S.

It’s been a while since we really drew attention to new additions to our Instructional Series of videos, but considering the requests we’ve been getting lately, we figured you may be interested.

We’ve added a total of six new videos to our DIY section, showing you how to upgrade the memory and storage on the 2011 mini and mini Server, as well as showing you how to install the Mercury Aura Pro Express in the 2011 MacBook Airs.

You can check out these new videos (and all out other ones, too) in our Tech Center, on our YouTube Channel, or in iTunes.

OWC YouTube Channel Reaches 1 Million Views

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011 | Author: OWC Chris S.

The OWC YouTube channel, where you can find all our instructional videos, SSD shootouts, promotional pieces and other bits of video goodness, topped over one million views late Monday. Of course, that number doesn’t include views from our Tech Center or from iTunes. If you take those two into account as well, we’re probably already closing in on the two million mark.

Our Instructional Series shows you, step-by-step, how to install the most popular upgrades in most modern Macs. Also popular are our SSD shootouts where we show how much an OWC SSD can improve your computer’s performance. They’re just one way we try to make upgrading with OWC the best experience possible.

We’re not resting on our laurels, though. We’ve got more great content in the pipeline, including:

  • in-depth looks at some of our products
  • more shootouts showing performance gains from upgrading
  • more of our highly-acclaimed Instructional Series of videos
  • various other fun little tidbits from the OWC Video Staff

To get the latest, join the over 1000 subscribers to our YouTube channel and keep an eye here on the OWC Blog!

OWC Videos are Everywhere!

Thursday, January 20th, 2011 | Author: OWC Chris S.

Things have been exciting here on the OWC video front. Not only do we have a bunch of videos that we’ve produced internally, but we also have some now rolling in from CES a couple weeks ago.

Let’s start with the latter. While we had a couple of interview videos to show you when we got back from CES, a couple more have come in since then:

We’ve been busy on the home front, too. Our Instructional Series of videos now includes instructions for installing the NewerTech NuVue Screen Protector for iPhone 4 as well as a new, cleaner look for the video page overall.

We’ve also got a few more exciting videos on the way, including installation videos for the OWC Mercury Aura Pro Express in a 2010 MacBook Air, the Mercury Aura Pro MBA in a 2008/2009 MacBook Air, and more speed shootouts.

Keep an eye here on the OWC Blog or on our YouTube Channel to get the latest updates.

New OWC Videos Help Double Your Data!

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 | Author: OWC Chris S.

Between the relative silence regarding new releases and yesterday’s announcement about our victory in the “Meet Me at CES 2011” video contest, you might think we’ve begun to steer away from our Instructional Series of videos.

Quite the contrary.

Now that we’ve got those “distractions” behind us we’re plowing through the backlog of videos we’ve shot and have yet to post.

As a result, we’ve got two videos for you this week, showing you how to add a second hard drive  in a Late 2008 MacBook or a Mid-2009 13” MacBook Pro with the OWC Data Doubler.

As always, you can find them both in our Tech Center and on our YouTube Channel.

Keep an eye here for new releases as they come.

eSATA on your 2010 Mac Pro

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 | Author: OWC Chris S.

Though the excitement of new internal workings on a recently-released Mac is always a crowd-pleaser, there’s something to be said about keeping things the same: namely, the security of knowing what worked before will likely continue to work. Such is the case with the 2010 Mac Pros, which—as far as upgrading goes—are pretty much identical to the 2009 models.

This continuance of design means that it remains simple to add an eSATA port to the back of your Mac Pro at a fraction of the expense of a full PCIe card. All you need is the Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable and a Phillips screwdriver.

Just like the 2009 version, all you need to do is detach the SATA cable going to the empty optical bay and route the extender cable behind the internal fan, to the PCIe ports. We even have an instructional video that shows how easy it is.

eSATA is the fastest external hard drive connection method currently available for the Mac Pro. OWC and Newer Technology make it easy to add it yourself.
