RAID 0+1 Stripe & Mirror 4 Bay Rack Storage Solutions
OWC quality, Ultra High Reliability, and ease of use in a single 1U rack space.


High Performance, High Reliability, and Style are standard for the OWC Mercury Rack Pro Stripe & Mirror 0+1 RAID series!

The OWC Mercury Rack Pro Stripe & Mirror RAID 0+1 storage Solution is a 4 bay SATA hard drive enclosure configured as a performance RAID-0 stripe, duplicated onto to a redundant RAID-1 mirror for the best balance possible of speed and data safety.

The OWC Mercury Rack Pro Stripe & Mirror uses the award-winning SoftRAID 3 to create this hybrid of performance and safety. SoftRAID 3 takes your existing hard disks and groups them together to give you more speed, capacity and instantaneous backup.

The OWC Mercury Rack Pro consists of 4 matched SATA hard drives. 1 hard drive volume will show up on your computer's desktop. The OWC Mercury Rack Pro uses 2 independent FireWire/USB bridge cards to control the 4 hard drives. You can even split the 2 hard drive bridge cards onto separate FireWire 800 or USB 2.0 interfaces to maximize performance (Requires 2nd FireWire 800 or USB 2.0 interface card).

Time Machine Ready Logo Time Machine ready means that our external hard drives keep an up-to-date copy of all of your files and document under OS X Leopard™. Go back in time to recover anything with ease.  

When you can't afford to lose data, the OWC Mercury Rack Pro Stripe & Mirror 0+1 RAID is the best choice.

High Reliability: A Top-Notch design and the best components ensure the OWC Mercury Rack Pro Series is built to last. The included Two Year warranty backs this up!
