Designed to put the power of choice in your hands, the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad packs an unprecedented combination of USB connectivity, universal drive bays, and advanced SoftRAID capabilities into a whisper-quiet aluminum enclosure. Whatever your workflow needs, the Mercury Elite Pro Quad has the flexibility to take your storage capacity, performance, and data security to a whole new level.

The Flexibility of USB-C

The Mercury Elite Pro Quad's powerful USB-C interface delivers USB 3.2 (10Gb/s) bandwidth and works with any USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 equipped Mac or Windows PC. Simply connect the Mercury Elite Pro Quad via the included USB-C cable to experience next-level performance.

Designed for Professionals by Professionals

Every detail was considered when designing the Mercury Elite Pro Quad. Built with a heat-dissipating aluminum enclosure, a whisper-quiet fan, and vibration-absorbing feet, the Mercury Elite Pro Quad runs cool and quietly, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments. Front-facing LEDs provide an instant drive-activity snapshot, while the front panel access lock keeps your drives safe. You can even secure the entire drive with the rear-mounted Kensington compatible lock slot. On top of that, drive-equipped models undergo OWC's multi-hour drive "burn-in" performance certification procedure to ensure that your drive arrives operating properly and ready to perform.

Reliability and Support You Can Count On

Like all OWC drives, the Mercury Elite Pro Quad is built to the highest standards of reliability and performance. Because 100% reliability is always the goal, Mercury Elite Pro Quad is rigorously quality tested, and backed by our award-winning customer support.

    Replaced a inferior - less expensive - problematic enclosure.

    I strongly considered the Elite Pro Quad when I was first shopping, then my attention was drawn to a 5 disk competitor that was nearly the same price or cheaper. It only took months before I realized my error. I had constant drive removal errors from that array and it finally Died! Buy quality and cry once [really, this is not emotionally expensive], but cheap and you cry ever time you use it.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!

    Great enclosure

    This enclosure is exactly what I needed when migrating from my old MacPro with 4 HD bays to a Mac Studio. It is compact, so it can be placed on your desk, or under /in your desk. And it uses the USB-C connections for really quick service.This was an "open Box" purchase at a very reasonable price. I have only 2 tiny negatives...very tiny. 1. This open box device did not have any "manual" or set up instructions included. OWC's videos saved the day in that respect. 2. Although I did not have an SSD drive to install, I can see that the tiny screws included for attaching one would be a real problem for someone like myself with old, stiff fingers. But I admit that OWC has no control over the standards used by drive manufacturers for attachment holes. I have done business with OWC for many, many years. I have never had anything but great experiences. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PRODUCT!

    A bit noisy

    My drive is noisy and clicking when accessing the files. The case also experiences a humming vibration sound which comes and goes and only goes away when I push on the top of the case. I have been thinking about putting it in another room.
