OWC Mercury Elite FireWire Case Kit For the fastest FireWire Storage Solutions, the OWC Mercury Elite FireWire Case Kit is one of the fastest enclosures on the market for your own 3.5" ATA/IDE hard drive.

Simply install your hard drive in the case, install FireWire driver software (not included, and not necessary if you are running Mac OS 9.1 or later), and away you go!

Macintosh users - for the best hard drive performance, we recommend using Intech Hard Disk SpeedTools - available HERE. (Mac OS 8.6-9.0.4 requires the use of a 3rd party formatting utility such as offered above).


What makes the OWC Mercury Elite so much faster?

Most FireWire cases pretty much use the same ATA mechanisms, but there is one critical component that makes ALL the difference, the FireWire Bridge. As much as 100% faster than the competition's, OWC Mercury Elite FireWire Storage Solutions were tested as the fastest with only VST drives being equal in performance. The OWC Mercury Elite utilizes the brand new Oxford 911 chipset to provide the ultimate in performance. They truly are among the "Elite".

FireWire/1394 makes it easy, OWC Mercury makes it faster! With transfer rates of up to 400mbs, plug and play connection, and professional level FireWire software, you will not go wrong with an OWC Mercury FireWire Drive. Don't have a FireWire Port? OWC makes it EASY to add FireWire to your PCI PowerMac or PowerBook G3! FireWire interface cards start at just $24.97! View FireWire interface card solutions by clicking here!
