Back to topThis is my third Raid for my ever expanding system.. These are Rock Solid. Went big on this one.. Worth the price. Great quality, easy to use. Great service and advice from OWC on the purchase as well.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
- Reviewer:dkgross-78981
Wow! Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you're loving your new RAID system and that it's your third one from us! It's incredible to know that you find them rock solid and worth the investment. Quality and ease of use are priorities for us, and we're so glad to see that reflected in your experience. We're also delighted that our service and advice made a positive impact on your purchase. Your support means the world to us! Keep enjoying your expanding system!
I'm surprised this doesn't have a power switch. Every powered drive I've purchased from OWC (and I've bought many) has had a power switch. I do not like to waste energy.
I would recommend this product to a friend!

Thank you for the feedback on the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual. We are sorry that you were not completely satisfied with this product without the power switch. We do have multiple enclosures that do not have power switches as some customers do not like that feature and we have built different enclosures to meet the expectations of multiple types of customers. We will pass along this feedback for this enclosure to our product development team. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns. https://eshop.macsales.com/Service/
I've been very pleased by this enclosure in just about every way, but feel the designers missed the mark by not charging the connected computer through the USB-C data cord, especially considering that this product is also described as being a 3-port hub! This means among other things that a laptop needing to do a long data transfer or back or restore can't just connect to this enclosure/hub, instead it also needs to connect to a second power adapter or else risk running out of juice during the middle of the transfer! A lesser issue is the unexpected lack of an on-off switch, but perhaps this was done to reduce the risk of data corruption due to accidental turn off. BTW, I also own an earlier eSata+USB3 version of this Dual Enclosure, which curiously does have an on-off switch and is noticeably smaller. Both are good products, and overall this USB-C does constitute a good upgrade despite the minor drawbacks mentioned. I hope OWC bears this feedback in mind for any future iterations.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
