High Performance, High Reliability, High Portability, and Style are standard for the OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID Series!
Outstanding Features
High Performance
The High-Speed Oxford 946 eSATA / FireWire 800/400 & USB 2.0 chipset combined with the fastest SATA drive mechanisms available give Mercury Elite Pro RAID Solutions some of the fastest single drive transfer rates possible, even exceeding 120 Megabytes Per Second!
High Reliability
A Top-Notch Design and the Best Components ensure the OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID Series is Built to Last. The included Three Year Warranty backs this up!
High Portability
The Compact and Shock Resistant Design has the Mercury Elite Series going places! In addition, the OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID series offers (1) eSATA port, (2) FireWire 800(1394B) ports, (1) FireWire 400 (1394A) port and 1 USB 2.0 port for Easy Plug and Play on ANY system! The OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID even includes all types of cables!
Style
Designed to compliment any user's system, the OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID was created in mind with the Power Macintosh G5 system as a starting point. As the pictures show, it's a fine storage solution for any computer. Also, a blue activity LED compliments the design recessed behind the front grille showing when your drive is being accessed.
Smart Sense
Power Saving Connection Sensor. A built-in sensor on the chipset detects when the solution's data cable is disconnected from a Mac or PC's native FireWire, USB, or eSATA interface and automatically spins down the solution to conserve energy during periods of disk inactivity. Ideal for notebook users who can go mobile without needing to reach around the solution to turn it off or unplug power cord.*
*This function is also available through an interface card, provided the card offers hot plug capability. LED and fan will remain on during disk inactivity.
