\"OWC\"Other World Computing announced today that several popular high-performance external storage solutions are now significantly quieter, with up to 60% noise-reduction.<\/p>\n

The Future is\u2026Quiet<\/strong>
\nOWC continues to improve upon the exceptional quality and performance that set our external storage solutions apart by making them quieter than ever before. The critically acclaimed ThunderBay 4<\/a> was the first to receive this update, enhancing the already impressive 4-bay solution by making it nearly 33% quieter.<\/p>\n

Since then, OWC has also incorporated noise-reduction improvements in the Mercury Elite Pro Dual<\/a> and the Mercury Elite Pro Dual with Thunderbolt<\/a> technology. The most impressive outcome came when we updated the Mercury Elite Pro Qx2<\/a>, which resulted in reducing noise levels by a staggering 60%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe very low noise is now eminently acceptable to my sensitive ears.\u201d \u2013 Lloyd Chambers, Diglloyd.com<\/a><\/p>\n

For customers looking to completely eliminate the noise coming from cooling fans, OWC offers a wide-range of fanless external drives, including the Mercury Elite Pro<\/a>, Mercury Elite Pro mini<\/a>, Mercury Elite Pro Dual mini<\/a>, and the Mercury On-The-Go Pro<\/a>. For a truly silent solution, the Mercury Elite Pro mini and the Mercury On-The-Go Pro are available with OWC SSDs<\/a> \u2013 and with no moving parts, these are completely silent and vibration-free.<\/p>\n

Whatever the requirement, OWC has a whisper-quiet, pro-performance external drive that fits the bill and works beautifully in any environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
