A High-Performance Solution at an Incredible Savings
OWC is dedicated to delivering uncompromising storage solutions that not only meet your storage needs but also your budget requirements. That's why we're proud to present this specific storage solution equipped with "zero-hour" Seagate factory recertified drives.
These hard drives were recertified by Seagate meaning they have simply undergone a return journey to the factory for a firmware change and rigorous retesting. The result? A remarkable high-performance solution at an incredible savings for you.
Continuing the Legacy
The Mercury Elite Pro began OWC's rich, storied history of storage solution innovations nearly 20 years ago. It has lasted the test of time by continuing to offer an incomparable blend of performance, quality, and value in a single-drive storage solution. The latest generation upholds our commitment to excellence and offers customers convenient access to their data with even more space and higher transfer speeds.
An Essential External Solution for Everyone
Photos, music, and videos are a part of everyday digital life. Add in presentations, reports, record-keeping, and correspondence, and the result is a staggering amount of data that needs to be stored in a single, accessible location. The Mercury Elite Pro is an essential desktop drive for creative pros, small businesses, home office users, and families with ever-growing storage capacity needs.
Housed in a rugged, solid aluminum enclosure, the Mercury Elite Pro is built for modern data management with a high performance 3.5-inch 7200RPM hard drive. It can be used for a variety of personal and business needs including:
- Pro-level video editing projects
- Time Machine and File History backups of important business data and irreplaceable personal photos
- Consolidating files from multiple smaller drives to a single location for faster, more convenient access
- Migrating data from an existing machine to a new computer
- Expanding game storage of console gaming systems
- Freeing up space on a computer's internal drive to improve performance
Purposefully Designed
Offering an ideal blend of form and function, the Mercury Elite Pro's fanless, brushed aluminum chassis provides maximum heat dissipation to run quietly cool while the shock isolation design keeps the drive – and your data – safe and protected. It fits discreetly on any desktop with the included vertical orientation stand. You can also place it horizontally, using the included non-skid rubber feet, and even stack multiple units to create a capacity "tower of power".
Ready for Play
The Mercury Elite Pro isn't just all work and no play. Besides saving and backing up computer data or functioning as a workhorse drive on set or in the edit suite, it can be used to watch videos, listen to music, and view pictures through your gaming console or attached directly to your Smart TV.
Gain Critically Needed Gaming Space
With their stunning realism, modern games have grown to an average of 40GB per game. That means PS4 and Xbox One gaming system's standard 500GB internal drive will only hold 12 "regular" games. How do you play more games – including 4K games that are up to 100GB in size – without uninstalling other games? Easy … for every 1TB of Mercury Elite Pro capacity you add as external storage to your console, you'll gain space to store up to 24 average-sized games. Besides eliminating the limitations of your internal capacity, you'll gain the ability to offload the games you play most regularly and potentially load and save them faster.
Certified for Demanding Use
We understand having confidence in gear reliability is paramount to creative professionals. That's why every Mercury Elite Pro pre-configured solution undergoes a multi-step performance certification prior to shipping. This ensures it arrives operating properly and immediately ready for demanding use.
Ready to go. Right out of the box.

Not what I expected.
I was expecting to receive the usual 3TB drive that I usually ordered. Need to return what you sent me. Please advise.

Thank you for your feedback, and we truly apologize for the confusion with your order. It looks like your order was for the enclosure only, rather than a complete drive, which is why you received only the enclosure. We understand that this was not what you expected, and we’re sorry for any frustration it has caused. To resolve this, please feel free to reach out to us so we can assist you with setting up an RMA and issuing a refund for the enclosure. Additionally, we want to clarify that we only offer the Mercury Elite Pro with even capacity units (such as 2TB, 4TB, 6TB, 10TB, 12TB, 14TB, and 16TB), which may be different from what you've ordered in the past. We’re here to assist you every step of the way, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions or need assistance with the return process. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to making this right for you.
I have been buying all my Macs and peripherals from Mac sales for a while.
Always as expected now professional and at a great value, You guys rock.
I would recommend this product to a friend!

Effective Drive Adapter
Out of the box and running in about 10 minutes. Now it lives as Time Machine on my primary iMac. I’m completely satisfied.
