Product Description

OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual is a professional grade solution, ideal for creative workflows, project archives, and system backups where reliability and versatile performance counts. It comes with two fast hard drives, easily configured in multiple RAID modes at the flick of an easy-access switch, to help you seamlessly integrate with any work environment from high demand production studios to your home office.

This hardware RAID workhorse comes configured in high-speed RAID 0 mode, which maximizes the full potential of two 3.5″ 7200RPM hard drives. With speeds up to 407MB/s, the Mercury Elite Pro Dual is fast enough for HD video workflows. It can also be configured in RAID 1 mode for extra security of mirrored data, set up a span of the two drives, or use them independently.

The Mercury Elite Pro Dual features both high-speed USB 3.1 Gen 1 & eSATA ports to offer connectivity and versatility to work with your current equipment at extreme speeds. It has a second-generation, free-flowing brushed-aluminum chassis with a high-performance fan, which delivers cool, quiet operation. The drive-activity LEDs give you an instant snapshot of the status of your RAID while intelligent power management conserves energy and reduces wear by automatically spinning down the drives when inactive.
