Friday Price Drop: OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual mini

Friday, July 15th, 2011 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

It’s a funny thing about these price drops; they always seem to come in bunches. This time around is no different. First, there were the Mercury Elites. Then came the Mercury Elite Pro minis, followed by the Qx2.

Well, this time around, we’re featuring the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual mini. However, don’t expect the same, old-fashioned price drop. No sir-ee. We’ve got something special goin’ on here; not only are we featuring a price drop, but we’re adding new models as well.

The OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual mini is a portable, bus-powered FireWire 800&400, USB2, eSATA solution with up to 2.0TB of space, making it perfect for those needing convenient portability and/or small desktop footprint with capabilities not available in a single drive solution. Measuring only 6.1” x  5.6” x 1.1”, this compact workhorse utilizes the High-Performance Oxford936 chipset with user selectable RAID-0, RAID-1 or SPAN modes of operation. The high performance, interface support, and RAID mode options provide exceptional flexibility for a wide range of applications. Article Continues…

Price Drops on Mercury Elite Pro Storage Solutions

Friday, June 24th, 2011 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

It’s been a couple of months since we had a nice Price Drop for you. Well, just in time to make some room for all the movies you might be making with the newly released Final Cut Pro X or simply to make sure your system is backed up and ready for OS X 10.7 Lion, we’ve got some great new prices on the OWC Mercury Elite Pro FireWire/USB 2.0 and “Quad Interface” model storage solutions.

Like all of our storage solutions, the Mercury Elite Pro series offers incredible performance along with great versatility. Key features include:

  • Oxford-based performance bridge solution
  • Two 1394B 9 pin FW800 ports, One 1394A 6 pin FW400 port, One USB 2.0 port, One eSATA port (“Quad” Interface Model Only)
  • Two 1394A Pin 6 Pin FW400 Ports, One USB 2.0 Port (FW/USB version only)
  • Large data buffer up to 32MB
  • Fully bootable, ideal for applications, A/V, Photos, Music, etc.
  • Certified for Audio/Video and Time Machine
  • Attractive & compact shock resistant Aluminum design
  • Connection cables for all interfaces included.
  • Prosoft DataBackup III (OS X), NovaStor NovaBackup (Windows), Carbon Copy Cloner (OS X), and Intech Speed Tools (8.6-10.6.x) included
  • Fully Mac & PC compatible
  • Industry leading comprehensive 3 year solution warranty with one year Level 1 Data Recovery services

While some media outlets, like Maximum PC, are reporting that there could be a drive shortage in the second half of 2011 due to the affects of the earthquake in Japan, current drive prices are stable for the most part. Unfortunately, there will always be sources that see an opportunity to make more money by raising prices to resellers or the resellers themselves raising prices on existing inventory.

Even though we have observed some drive supply crunches, we fortunately have the personnel and procedures in place to keep our drive supply high…and prices low. These new lower prices are a great example of how OWC always has your best interests in mind. Article Continues…

Price Drop on GMAX “Quad Interface” is Better than Flowers & Candy

Friday, February 18th, 2011 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

In a (slightly late) celebration of Valentine’s Day, we’re giving you a double-dose of Price Drop love, and because such a large part of love is safety, this “extra” price drop is the award winning Newer Technology Guardian MAXimus. It’s the perfect way to keep your cherished digital snapshots and love songs (along with less-endearing things like spreadsheets, reports and emails from your boss) safe and sound.

The NewerTech Guardian MAXimus RAID-1 FW800/400+eSATA+USB2 ‘Quad Interface’ solution is a hardware RAID 1 ‘Redundant Mirror’ which automatically keeps your data backed up in real time to protect against a hard disk failure. Should a drive ever experience a malfunction, normal data operation continues seamlessly. If the malfunction is a recoverable ‘soft’ type, the Guardian MAXimus will rebuild the mirror (also without data interruption) automatically. If the disk failure requires a drive to be replaced, once the new drive is installed. the Guardian MAXimus will automatically rebuild the Mirror while you use it.

In addition to the benefits of Hardware RAID 1 Mirroring, these solutions are fully certified for Audio/Video, Backup, Graphics, Music, General Data needs and more! Article Continues…
