Universal USB 3.0 Connectivity
The new Mercury Pro is plug-and-play compatible with both Mac and PC workflows, making it your versatile premium optical drive. With high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity, playback of optical media, data transfer, and archive all happen as fast as possible, with bandwidth to spare.
M-DISC - The Perfect Long-Term Archive Solution
The OWC Mercury Pro supports the revolutionary M-DISC format, making it the ideal solution for reliable long-term backup and archiving. Compared to other recordable storage media like DVDs and Tape, M-DISC offers superior reliability and protection against data loss that will last a thousand years (or more)!
M-DISCs use a proprietary layer made from inorganic, rock-like material for permanent data storage, protected from data rot and extremes of light, humidity and temperature change. Once written, the M-DISC can be read or played on any quality DVD drive that supports the common DVD+R/RW format. Shop our selection of M-DISC Optical Media.
Reliability and Support You Can Count On
Like all OWC drives, the Mercury Pro is built to the highest standards of reliability and performance.

16X OWC Mercury Pro
i bought the drive thinking that it would work saving UHDBD but unfortunately it doesn’t work on a MacBook Pro 16 with a M1 processor. Are there any ways to make it work? I’m still looking around but nothing solid as how to make it work. For regular Bd is great fast quiet .
I would recommend this product to a friend!

Fast and tough
Great to use a fully Mac compatible BD… burner that looks good and is built like a tank. I know people aren’t thinking that these are not necessary, but I still need them. It works flawlessly. OWC makes solid everything!
