\"\"<\/a>Hi, my name is June Oehlers and I\u2019m co-owner of a small media production company named freshlab inc<\/a>. based in Cura\u00e7ao<\/a>. We mainly produce commercials and infomercials. Recently, we started on the production of a 30 minute TV program which airs every other week on our local TV station. We shoot with DSLR cameras due to their amazing image quality, small footprint and cost.<\/p>\n

Editing was previously done on a\u00a0Dual\u00a02.3 MHz\u00a0Power Mac\u00a0G5<\/a>. As you may know, HD video editing<\/a> and Motion graphics<\/a> can be a very processor intensive procedure. We needed to upgrade ASAP to a faster Mac in order to accommodate the growth of our company. My first choice would have been an eight-core Mac Pro with a 27\u201d display, but it didn\u2019t fit our budget. Shortly thereafter, though, the news came out about the faster 2010 iMacs<\/a>. We decided to go for a 27\u201d Intel Core i7 iMac because it fit our budget perfectly.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks later, I visited macsales.com<\/a> to search for an external\u00a03.5\u201d hard drive enclosure<\/a>. That is when the magic happened; on the front page was an ad about OWC’s iMac Turnkey Upgrade Program for the 2010 iMacs<\/a>. I was immediately sold on the eSATA upgrade option. After some research and getting our budget complete, we placed an order with OWC for the eSATA upgrade, then ordered a 27\u201d iMac at the Apple store and had it delivered directly to OWC.<\/p>\n

The order process went smoothly. After our iMac was shipped, we informed OWC of the shipment and they immediately informed us they have received our iMac. Within two days, we received a notification e-mail from OWC that the upgrade was complete and that our now eSATA interface equipped iMac was on its way to us. Just three days later, the iMac had arrived on the island.<\/p>\n

We are very pleased with our OWC eSATA upgrade. With an 8.0TB RAID unit connected via eSATA, it makes the 27\u201d Intel Core i7 iMac a real video editing beast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
