Review Summary

Rated 3 out of 5

Design leaves a lot to be desired

While the drive looks good and appears on the outside to be well constructed, there is virtually no support for the drives on the inside. Instead of some type of rail system, the drives are (essentially) supported by the mounting screws. Additionally, based on my experience with devices of this type, the drive connections inside are unusual. Even the cheapest devices like this typically have power/drive connectors that the drives 'slide into.' That also helps stability. This unit uses cheaper power and drive cable connectors making attaching the drives awkward. That may be acceptable for some people but, for an $ 84 device, it wasn't acceptable to me and I sent it back.

Piece of mind and a great price and ease of use.

Very easy setup and use. It's very quiet and a small footprint. I haven't had to restore anything yet so I can't comment on that function.

Awesome RAID system.

I had a friend recommended this to me and it works out perfectly for backing up all of my files.

Professional Grade Solution
Mercury Elite Pro Dual is the best dual-drive hardware RAID solution for creative workflows, project archives and system backups where reliability and versatile performance count. With two fast hard drives, easily configured in multiple RAID modes at the flick of an easy-access switch, Mercury Elite Pro Dual is built to seamlessly integrate with any work environment from high demand production studios to your home office.

• Hardware RAID 0, 1, span and independent modes
• Fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 & eSATA connectivity
• Accelerate your workflow with transfer speeds up to 407MB/s
• Second-generation aluminum design with low-decibel cooling fan
• OWC 1 Year Enclosure Limited Warranty

The Hardware RAID Workhorse
Reliable hardware RAID maximizes the full potential of two 3.5" 7200RPM hard drives in the Mercury Elite Pro Dual. It comes configured in high-speed RAID 0 mode for the maximum sustained throughput from your drives. With speeds up to 407MB/s, that's fast enough for HD video workflows. Configure the Mercury Elite Pro Dual in RAID 1 mode for the extra security of mirrored data, set up a span of the two drives or use them independently.

Performance by Design
Mercury Elite Pro Dual features both high-speed USB 3.1 Gen 1 & eSATA ports to offer the connectivity and versatility to work with your current equipment at extreme speeds. A second-generation, free-flowing brushed-aluminum chassis with high-performance fan delivers cool, quiet operation. In addition, drive-activity LEDs give you an instant snapshot of the status of your RAID and intelligent power management conserves energy and reduces wear by automatically spinning down the drives when inactive.

Support You Can Trust
Like all OWC products, Mercury Elite Pro Dual is built to the highest standards from design to delivery. Each unit undergoes rigorous lab testing for exceptional performance and reliability. It's also always fully backed by a comprehensive warranty and OWC legendary U.S-based customer support team.
