Product Information

Overview

OWC Mercury Elite Pro External Storage Solution

Step into the future of data storage with the OWC Mercury Elite Pro, a hallmark of innovation in external storage solutions for nearly two decades. This latest generation continues to deliver an unparalleled blend of performance, quality, and value, offering even more space and higher transfer speeds for all your data needs.

An Essential External Solution for Everyone

In today's digital world, photos, music, videos, presentations, reports, and personal correspondence all add up to a staggering amount of data. The Mercury Elite Pro is the essential desktop drive for creative professionals, small businesses, home office users, and families who require ever-growing storage capacity. Housed in a rugged, solid aluminium enclosure, it features a high-performance 3.5-inch 7200RPM hard drive, making it perfect for:

  • Pro-level video editing projects
  • Time Machine and File History backups of important business data and irreplaceable personal photos
  • Consolidating files from multiple smaller drives to a single location for faster, more convenient access
  • Migrating data from an existing machine to a new computer
  • Expanding game storage of console gaming systems
  • Freeing up space on a computer's internal drive to improve performance

Purposefully Designed for Optimal Performance

The Mercury Elite Pro is purposefully designed to blend form and function. Its fanless, brushed aluminium chassis provides maximum heat dissipation, ensuring it runs quietly cool. The shock isolation design keeps your drive—and your data—safe and protected. Whether placed vertically using the included stand or horizontally with the non-skid rubber feet, the Mercury Elite Pro fits discreetly into any workspace. For those with extensive storage needs, multiple units can be stacked to create a formidable “tower of power”.

Ready for Play and More

Beyond being a workhorse, the Mercury Elite Pro enhances your leisure time as well. Use it to watch videos, listen to music, and view pictures through your gaming console or Smart TV. With modern games averaging 40GB each, the standard 500GB internal drives of consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One can quickly fill up. By adding just 1TB of Mercury Elite Pro capacity, you can store up to 24 average-sized games, including 4K titles, eliminating the need to uninstall favourites and ensuring faster load and save times.

Certified for Reliability and Ready to Use

Every Mercury Elite Pro undergoes rigorous multi-step performance certification before shipping, ensuring it arrives ready to meet the demands of even the most intensive tasks. OWC’s commitment to excellence means you get a product that is both reliable and easy to use. The Mercury Elite Pro comes pre-formatted in the native HFS+ file system for macOS and iPadOS, providing seamless plug-and-play compatibility. Just connect it to your Mac or iPad, and you’re ready to go—no reformatting required.

Discover the OWC Mercury Elite Pro and revolutionise your data storage experience. With its exceptional performance, robust design, and versatile functionality, it's more than just a storage solution—it's a gateway to enhanced productivity and entertainment.
