OWC Express priced to move even faster!

Friday, November 27th, 2009 | Author: OWC Chris S.

SantaGlobeHello Readers, and happy Day-After-Thanksgiving to you!

As always, while most of the United States is recovering from an L-Tryptophan-induced slumber, we here at OWC are ready to help you with your holiday tech gift needs. This year, we’ve got something for you that we think you’re going to like.

We’ve got blowout prices for the already economical OWC Express 2.5″ Drive Enclosure, reducing the prices to as low as $9.99 for the white model.

While this price makes of one of the best USB bus-powered enclosure deals available even better, you still need a 2.5″ SATA hard drive to put in there. If you don’t have one already laying around, we’ve got some great “Express + Hard Drive” bundle offers – you can either put the new drive right in the enclosure, or you can replace the old drive in your MacBook, MacBook Pro or Mac mini and put the drive you took out into the Express. And those bundles have a little extra value in them as we include at  no cost a $5 value five piece toolkit to help you get the job done.

Either way you go, OWC can show you how to do it all yourself. Our highly acclaimed Instructional Series of videos can show you how to replace the drive in your computer, and our latest installment shows you how to install a drive (be it new or old) in the Express itself. As always, you can find those videos both in our Tech Center and on our YouTube channel.

Of course, this isn’t the only Black Friday special we have for you. You can find all our great post-Thanksgiving specials on this special page, as well as our every-day great prices throughout our site.

Burn your own Blu-ray movies easily and inexpensively!

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 | Author: OWC Chris S.

Hardware and/or software bundles are often really good deals. Most times, you can get a number of pieces that work exceptionally well together for a price considerably lower than if you purchased them separately. When combined with lowered prices, these bundles become even more attractive.

Just such a thing has come to the OWC Mercury Pro Blu-ray “Quad interface” optical drives.

First, let’s take a look at the new pricing/features of just the drive solutions:

While those are great prices on great drives, we’re taking it a bit further and offering up a pair of bundles with Toast 10 Titanium Pro, as well. A long time Mac favorite tool for burning CDs and DVDs, Toast 10 Titanium Pro takes burning on Macs to the next level with built-in Blu-ray data and video disc burning capabilities, in addition to DVD & CD support.

Let’s Get High-Definition!

Of course, the really great thing about bundling Toast 10 Titanium Pro with our Mercury Pro Blu-ray drives is that it becomes the perfect combination for burning your HD videos for playback on your home Blu-ray player. With HD video cameras widely available, and even iMovie being capable of handling HD video, it somehow seems kind of silly to have to edit all that HD footage together and scale it down to DVD if you want to watch it on your television.

So the question is: if the OWC Mercury Pro supports Blu-Ray media and Toast 10 Titanium Pro allows you to author Blu-ray video discs, what’s stopping you from taking your HD movies and putting them on Blu-ray, for highest-quality playback? Instructions, of course!

Fortunately, OWC has you covered there, too. We’ve put together a nice walkthrough of how to create a basic Blu-ray video that will play on your home Blu-ray player.

Now, you can view your HD video the way it was meant to be viewed – in full HD!
