Steady and Reliable -- and not expensive!

I have bought several variations on this drive over the years, and I've always been impressed. This time, I wanted a fast, reliable, large-capacity work-horse to serve as a redundant back-up drive. I didn't have to think twice about what I would order. This is a great drive.

Steady and Reliable -- and not expensive!

By WARREN H.

I have bought several variations on this drive over the years, and I've always been impressed. This time, I wanted a fast, reliable, large-capacity work-horse to serve as a redundant back-up drive. I didn't have to think twice about what I would order. This is a great drive.

When it comes to optimizing your digital workspace, the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual 2-Bay 32TB USB 3.2 Gen 2 RAID Array with 3-Port Hub in Silver stands out as a versatile and high-performance solution.

Such impressive performance is perfect for tasks like backup, photography, audio production, virtual machines, and video editing.

Equipped with a rear-side hub featuring three USB ports, the Mercury Elite Pro Dual allows you to connect high-speed storage devices with performance up to 1250MB/s, as well as peripherals like keyboards, mice, and phones.

For added convenience, the OWC Dock Ejector software allows you to safely dismount the Mercury Elite Pro Dual and any additional external drives with a single click, ensuring all data is securely written before unmounting to prevent accidental data loss or corruption.

It connects to any Mac or PC with an available USB port, offering universal compatibility with nearly all USB computers from the past decade to the latest models. Additionally, you can work cross-platform with Macs and PCs using the OWC MacDrive software (available separately).

To secure your workflow, consider the OWC ClingOn custom cable stabilizers (available separately), which screw into the Mercury Elite Pro Dual housing to secure your USB-C connections, providing peace of mind even in high-traffic environments. With included high-quality USB connecting cables, you can begin working immediately and hassle-free with any USB machine.
