OWC Mercury Elite Pro FireWire 400 + USB 2.0/1.1 Combo Case Kit:

If you're looking for one of the most compatible mass storage solutions made, look no further! The OWC Mercury Elite Combo drive is all you'll need! Packing a one-two punch of FireWire 400 and USB 2.0, the OWC Mercury Elite Combo has what it takes to truly work cross platform.

The OWC Mercury Elite Pro Combo drive merges the proven performance of Oxford 911 FireWire 400 with an In-System USB 2.0 / USB 1.1 chipset creating one perfectly integrated storage solution.

One thing you don't get with the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Combo is something you don't want to begin with - Extra Noise! The power supply, which generates the most heat, is not inside the case which itself is designed to dissipate the heat of the hard drive with no fan required. So... No noisy fan to distract you from the work at hand!

The OWC Mercury Elite Pro Combo uses a compact external power brick, with a standard 2 prong pigtail so it does not take up any unnecessary space when you plug it in either!
What makes the OWC Mercury Elite Combo drives 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 Pro Combo FireWire Storage Solutions have been tested as among the fastest available, with only VST drives being equal in performance. The OWC Mercury Elite Pro Combo utilizes the state of the art Oxford 911 chipset to provide the ultimate in performance. They truly are among the "Elite".

Also, the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Combo features an In-System USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 backwards compatible) Chipset for cross platform connectivity and ultra high speed! USB 2.0 transfers data at 480Mbps - even faster than FireWire! Be ready to transfer data to any computer with the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Combo - it's ready to connect to most any system!
