OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID

1.0TB Triple Interface Mirrored RAID

Mac / FireWire 800 / FireWire 400 / USB 2.0 & 1.1

High Performance, High Reliability, High Portability, and Style are standard for the OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID Series!

Outstanding Features

Superb Redundancy

The OWC Mercury Elite Pro MIRROR RAID is designed with data security in mind. Using the award-winning SoftRAID 4, this drive will give you the peace of mind knowing that your critical data is always safe, even if one of the hard disk drives fails. Featuring comprehensive monitoring tools, and automatic recovery, SoftRAID is the best solution on the market!
NOTE: SoftRAID 4 is an OS X system program only. For PC use we highly suggest the Guardian MAXimus HardWare RAID-1 data redundant solutions.

High Performance

The High-Speed Oxford 934 FireWire 800/USB 2.0 chipset combined with the fastest SATA drive mechanisms available give OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID Solutions some of the fastest single drive transfer rates possible, even exceeding 80 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 (2) FireWire 800(1394B) ports, (1) FireWire 400 (1394A) port and a USB 2.0 Port for Easy Plug and Play on ANY system! The OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID even includes all connecting 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.
