Friday, February 1st, 2013 | Author: OWC Jarrod

We may have held off a month for the first Garage Sale of 2013, but trust us, it was worth it. Our first edition for the new year has even more great stuff than usual packed in, with well over 400 items total, and more than 350 of which are newly added.

As always, items are “first come, first served,” and quantities are limited to that which is on hand. Items will automatically count down and ‘disappear’ as sold out. Sorry… no rain checks. So make sure you look carefully when scrolling through this robust list so you don’t miss any of the hot deals!

Here are just a few of the highlights:

And don’t forget, you can get free delivery on most orders $49 and up within the 48 contiguous United States, and discounted freight for Hawaii, Alaska and International destinations!

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

Other World Computing today introduced the OWC Mercury AccelsiorM, a Mac and PC-bootable, fully supported PCIe controller card that accepts any standard 50mm mSATA Solid State Drive.

User-Friendly, Yet Robust for Demanding Uses

As easy to install as a memory module, yet robust enough to handle the rigors of professional multimedia production environments, the half-height AccelsiorM card is the clear choice for Mac Pro and PC owners who desire the maximum performance from their 3G data bus-based machines. Waiting for I/O-intensive apps like Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Pro Tools to render, capture or process will become a distant memory; business critical applications are given an instant boost; and game level loading, object streaming, and save times can be reduced for more play time and less waiting.
