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!

Installation videos for the 2010 minis!

Friday, December 10th, 2010 | Author: OWC Chris S.

Look out, radio stars, because with the number of our highly-acclaimed Instructional Series of videos we’ve been putting up lately, things may be a little hazardous for you.

This time around, we’ve got a few videos that a lot of people have been asking for. We show you how to upgrade the memory in both the 2010 Mac mini and the 2010 Mac mini Server. mini Server owners also get a one-two bonus in that we also show you how to replace both hard drives in that model.

Don’t worry if you have the plain, single-drive Mac mini that you want to drop a faster or bigger drive in; we’ve got that video slated to come out early next week.

As always, you can find the new videos (and all the other ones, too) both in our Tech Center and on our YouTube Channel.

Installation Videos Still in Production.

Friday, July 2nd, 2010 | Author: OWC Chris S.

What with all the excitement of new iPhone, the release of the iPad, a redesigned Mac mini, new MacBooks, new product releases, and  price drops galore, you’d think we’d given up on our highly-acclaimed Installation Series of videos.

Au contraire, my friends. We’ve been as busy as we ever have, making guides to upgrade the newest of the new Macs, as well as filling in gaps for some earlier models.

Here’s some of the machines we’ve shown how to upgrade over the last few months.

  • iPhone (original)
  • Power Macintosh G4 (Quicksilver)
  • Mac Pro (pre-08)
  • iMac G5 (20″ – No iSight)
  • MacBook Pro 15″ (mid 2010)
  • Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx 2

…and we have even more on the way, including the remaining MacBooks and the new Mac minis!

On top of that, we’ve also been expanding out with our OWC TV video segments, where we introduce and test new products and OWC Radio, where host Tim Robertson discusses the tech news of the day with notables from the Mac community.

Fortunately, we’ve made it quite simple to keep up on our latest AV exploits. You can always find the latest additions in these locations.

We’ve Gone Bananas With A Bunch of Instructional Videos!

Monday, January 11th, 2010 | Author: OWC Chris S.

juggleWhat with all the holiday hijinks, preparations for Macworld, and all the other stuff we’ve been reporting about lately, our highly-acclaimed Instructional Series of videos seems to have taken a back seat, with nary a mention since mid-December.

Well, that’s a little too long for our liking. To make it up to you all, we’re dropping a big bunch of videos for you to sift through.

So what’s included in this group? Well, to start out, we show you how to perform a myriad of upgrades for your pre-2008 Mac Pro, including adding memory, adding a hard drive, adding eSATA capability and adding a second optical drive.

Next, we show you how easy it is to drop a hard drive into the new OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro mini Enclosure.

Rounding it all off are a couple of tutorials to help you get the most out of the pen you use with your Axiotron Modbook.

As always, you can find these new videos (and all our other instructional videos) both in our Tech Center and on our YouTube Channel.

Video shows how to Add more Memory to the October 2009 MacBook

Thursday, October 29th, 2009 | Author: OWC Chris S.

Macbook-09-BrainJust last week, Apple released a bunch of new Macs. You know what that means; it’s time for more upgrade videos!

To start out this new batch of upgrade instructions, we’re going to show you how to upgrade the memory in the new MacBook.

If you’re a regular reader of the OWC Blog, you should know by now that—dollar for dollar—adding more memory to your system gives you the best performance boost for the investment. Combine that with Snow Leopard‘s ability to utilize memory better than its predecessors, and you have very little reason for not putting as much RAM into your Mac as you can reasonably afford.

Fortunately, Apple made upgrading the memory in the new MacBooks incredibly easy to do. Just remove the bottom cover, replace the memory and then close it all up. In no time at all, you’ll be able to upgrade the stock 2GB of memory to 4GB or even 8GB!

Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? See for yourself by checking out the video in our Tech Center or on our YouTube Channel.

New Installation Video – OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro RAID Enclosure

Friday, August 21st, 2009 | Author: OWC Chris S.

eliteRAIDYowza! It’s been one heck of a week around here, as we all get ready for the release of Snow Leopard. I’d go into details, but it’s much more fun to leave it hanging at that in order to build suspense. :-D

To distract you, I’ll remind you of the fact that it has been a couple of weeks since we’ve introduced a new Instructional Video. Well, I’m glad to say that we’re back on schedule with our videos, and have a new one for you this week.

This time around, we’ll show you how to install a pair of 3.5” SATA hard drives in an OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro RAID Enclosure. Whether you’re using the Triple or Quad interface model, this video shows you how easy it is to drop a pair of drives inside.

Following these instructions, you’ll have a nice, fast RAID 0 going in no time.

As always, you can find this video (along with all our other instructional videos) both in our Tech Center and on our YouTube Channel.

A New Video & A New Direction

Monday, July 20th, 2009 | Author: OWC Chris S.

By popular request, we’re taking a short break from the “Mac Upgrade” series of instructional videos and moving on to our own products. That’s right, over the next few weeks or so, we’ll be showing you how to install/replace the hard drive(s) in all our SATA-based enclosures.

This week, we’re starting out with our most popular enclosure: The Mercury Elite-AL.

Keep in mind that this video is for the most recent iteration of this enclosure; instructions for the enclosure design sold prior to December 2008 will be in a separate video, to be released near the end of the series.

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