While OWC Chris S. did a very nice and thorough examination<\/a> of all the benefits to the FireWire 400\/USB 2.0 “Combo Interface” Mercury On-The-Go Pro just last week, I wanted to make you aware of the biggest savings ride offered in this product.<\/p>\n

While perhaps not as exciting from a speed thrills standpoint, the USB 2.0 only interface On-The-Go Pro<\/a> models offer all the same great base benefits but at the lowest prices in the line.<\/p>\n

Think of it this way…when you want to go somewhere, and don’t have a lot of green, you can still get to your destination by bus…and in this case, via USB 2.0 that’s found on nearly every legacy to modern computer.<\/p>\n

So go ahead, climb aboard the bus<\/a>…and enjoy the savings from us!<\/p>\n

80GB 5400RPM w\/ 2MB Buffer\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0 $62.99
\n160GB 5400RPM w\/ 8MB Buffer\u00a0 –\u00a0 $72.99
\n250GB 5400RPM w\/ 8MB Buffer\u00a0 –\u00a0 $82.99
\n320GB 5400RPM w\/ 8MB Buffer\u00a0 –\u00a0 $89.99
\n500GB 5400RPM w\/ 8MB Buffer\u00a0 –\u00a0 $114.99<\/p>\n

250GB 7200RPM w\/ 16MB Buffer –\u00a0 $92.99
\n320GB 7200RPM w\/ 16MB Buffer –\u00a0 $102.99
\n500GB 7200RPM w\/ 16MB Buffer –\u00a0 $159.99 (a $30 price drop)<\/strong><\/p>\n

And geez…even the 0GB “Add Your Own Drive” Kit<\/a> is priced from $25.99. About the only way to travel with your data more economically would be by special Express<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
