For creative workflows, project archives, and system backups, the next generation Mercury Elite Pro Dual with Thunderbolt 2 technology<\/a> is the perfect RAID solution. Inside The Elite Pro Dual are two drives, that can be easily configured in RAID 0, 1, span, or independent mode, giving a range of options depending on your specific workflow needs.<\/p>\n

Pro Tools Expert reviewer James Ivey recently experienced a hard drive failure<\/a> that led him to find a more secure solution in the Elite Pro Dual.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recently was involved with a two day live video and audio recording… We recorded all the data to a new and tested drive that on the way home from the session died in my bag and when I plugged it in back at the studio I was greeted with the gentle tick, tick ticking of a dead hard drive. Not my finest hour.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the dust settled from this job I set about finding a solution that might prevent this issue from raising its ugly head ever again on a location or studio job. Our friends at [MacSales.com] were able to help with the Mercury Elite Pro Dual (MEPD) drive solution.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Check out the review here<\/a> to see why Ivey came away impressed with the Elite Pro Dual with Thunderbolt 2 technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
