OWC Mercury
On-The-Go® Pro
1.0TB Portable External Drive
Mac / PC / Thunderbolt
The "Go Anywhere" Bus-powered, Portable Drive for Mac and PC
Weighing only 12 ounces (0.34 kilograms), the OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro is a reliable portable companion that's at-the-ready to handle life's critical data be it images, audio, video, backup, and more. It's stylishly engineered in a sleek, impact-resistant, and transparent acrylic enclosure that reveals the On-The-Go's inner workings.
Thunderbolt Fast + Thunderbolt Powered
Simply connect the On-The-Go Pro to your Mac or PC via the included Thunderbolt cable to experience true high performance. The Thunderbolt interface provides so much bandwidth that the internal drive mechanism operates at full speed, just as if the drive were internally installed into your computer. Now that's fast!
All that speed comes through the Thunderbolt port, and so does the power. No fumbling for power adapters or looking for power outlets. Just plug in the included Thunderbolt cable, attach to your Mac or PC, and the On-The-Go powers right up.

Ultra-Portable and Durable
The On-The-Go's case is made of a durable crystal clear acrylic that provides a gap of air around the drive and shock absorbing rubber feet - all to keep the internal drive mechanism better protected from the rough and tumble of life on the go.
Its small size and included traveling case make it easy to take the On-The-Go wherever you go. At only 12 ounces, whether you travel with it all by itself or with your other gear in a laptop bag, briefcase, or backpack the On-The-Go is light and easy to carry.

Fanless Cooling
A fanless design makes the On-The-Go operate in near silence while the built-in aluminum heatsinks and air vents work in tandem to cool the On-The-Go. This ensures your On-The-Go remains a trusted digital companion with a long and reliable life.
The Perfect Portable Makes a Great Desktop Drive
While On-The-Go is perfect for traveling, it also makes a great desktop drive. Your desktop will be clutter free with a single Thunderbolt cable used for both power and data, and the On-The-Go's small size requires minimal desktop space.
Thunderbolt Cable Included
We don't like external drives that require you to buy a cable to make it work correctly. That's why we include all cables needed for connectivity with all of our external drives, and Thunderbolt drives are no exception. It's just how we think it should be done. So don't bother hunting for a Thunderbolt cable, we've got ya covered with an OWC premium quality, certified, 0.5 meter Thunderbolt cable included.
