Ring in the New Year with OWC Gear!

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

Well, Christmas has passed, Hanukkah is in the final stretch, Boxing Day has come and gone, the Festivus Pole has been put away, and now we’re looking at the end of the year. For some, this means getting those “extras” like more RAM or an SSD for their new Mac, a case/carrier for their new iPad, or more storage to hold all those new digital photos and music. For others, it’s a matter of getting that new equipment for the office by the end of the year for tax purposes. Still others may just want a great deal on something they really want.

No matter what your reasoning is, OWC has the gear you need, and can get it to you before year’s end.

If you got a new Mac this year (or even if you’ve had one for a while now and would like to breathe some new life into it), adding more memory and an SSD can unleash your computer’s full potential.

Did you get a new phone, tablet, mp3 player, or other device that charges via USB? Don’t mess with those bulky and ugly wall adapters or tie up the USB ports on your computer simply to charge it. The award-winning Power2U wall outlet from Newer Technology is the first UL-listed wall outlet with integrated USB charging ports.

For those of you looking for an amazing deal, we still have a sizable list of holiday specials left on our Holiday Savers page. You can find memory upgrade kits starting at $26.50, DIY 2.5” Hard Drive Bundles up to 1.0TB, and much more.

And if you order by December 31, and use the Checkout with Amazon option on your order, you can save up to an additional $50 on your order.

Let your computer start the new year the right way: with upgrades and accessories from OWC!

Holiday Sales Continue on Cyber Monday

Monday, November 28th, 2011 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

Gifts from OWC - Always the right choice!Last week, we posted on our Black Friday/Holiday specials and, quite frankly, the response has been tremendous. We’ve had record numbers of orders, which tells us that a lot of people are finding those deals to be pretty good. Well, we’re going to bump it up a notch and throw a few more deals into the mix.

Rather than a slow, building tease where we show you some neat stuff before trotting out the big mind-blower, we’re going to start out with the special that a lot of us around the office are excited about: We’re offering Drive Genius 3 for up to 74% off Retail Price with the purchase of a qualifying OWC/Newer Technology Storage Solution or enclosure/DIY Kit!

This is actually pretty exciting. Drive Genius 3 allows you to maintain and monitor your drive’s health, alerting you to possible issues before they become unmanageable. You can even use the Drive Slim feature to remove duplicate files and perform other actions that can reduce the amount of space taken up on your drives. With the current hard drive shortage, you’ll want to keep your current drives in tip-top shape, and Drive Genius 3 is the tool to help you do so.

Speaking of hard drives, we’ve got some great new deals on bus-powered portable drives. Starting at $79, these drives are an affordable, convenient solution to your storage needs while on the go.

Over the years, we’ve shown that adding more memory to your computer gives you the most performance per dollar than any other upgrade. Now, with our special holiday pricing, there’s no reason not to max out that new computer (or, for that matter, the one you already have) and keep the holiday joy going all year long.

Of course, these aren’t the only great deals we’ve got for you; we have nearly three hundred different items on our Holiday Specials page. You’d better act fast, though – with the record numbers of people ordering this year, you’ll want to make sure you get your great deal before supplies run out!

Gobble Up Some Great Deals at November’s Garage Sale.

Monday, November 14th, 2011 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

Yes, it’s that time of year where the air is frosty, the leaves have turned and fallen, and turkeys everywhere are a little nervous. Here at OWC, though, we’re continuing to put out a cornucopia of great deals.

You can stuff your computer with more memory (which, incidentally, is a lot more effective than stuffing it with cornbread), and garnish it with a bounty of accessories. We’ve got a feast of deals here for you, so let’s dig in!

As always, you’d better act fast – items are “first come, first served” and of varying limited quantities. Quantities are limited to that which is on hand and items automatically count down and ‘disappear’ as sold out. Sorry… no rain checks.

OWC Customer Reviews his OWC-Upgraded iMac

Monday, September 19th, 2011 | Author: Guest Blogger

[Editor’s Note: Due to its very nature, it’s been somewhat difficult to get a professional media review of our Turnkey Upgrade Program for the 2011 iMac, so we’re posting a customer testimonial, instead. If you’re a reviewer and want to review the upgrade program, please contact us.]

Why I Chose the OWC Turnkey Upgrade Program for the 2011 iMac.

by Ken H., OWC Customer

In January, I had a 2TB OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID hard drive that wouldn’t mount. Since none of the data on the drive was backed up, I started to look into data recovery and found out how expensive it was. Fortunately, OWC Tech Support helped me determine that that the problem was simply a power adapter problem and not a drive failure.

After coming so close to losing valuable data, I decided to come up with a backup plan. I bought a 12TB OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 and configured it as RAID 5. I also bought an empty Qx2 and placed the 2TB drives from two 4TB Mercury Elite Pro RAIDs into that for an 8TB RAID 0 drive. That way, I could put all of the videos and photos from several drives onto one large drive and keep a backup of the large drive.
