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…
