OWC Announces the Mercury Pro Optical Drive
Other World Computing (OWC), a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company, announced today the availability of the new OWC Mercury Pro, a sleek aluminum-housed USB 3.0 optical drive for plug and play support of CD, DVD, M-DISC and/or Blu-ray disc reading and writing with Macs and PCs.
The new OWC Mercury Pro conveniently brings optical media back to your workflow with high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity for playback of optical media, data transfer and archiving with bandwidth to spare. With a sleek, durable aluminum chassis, the Mercury Pro delivers looks to match its performance while running cooler, quieter and better than ever.
Available in two configurations
The Mercury Pro is available in two configurations to match your storage, transfer, and archive requirements:
When backing up audio, video, archives or other data for the long term, M-DISC makes the perfect partner for the Mercury Pro. The revolutionary M-DISC is an archival-quality storage technology that protects your data from degradation, and is designed to last as long as 1,000 years or more.
Unlike traditional discs which use susceptible ink dye to store data, M-DISCs use a proprietary micro-thin layer made from rock-like material for virtually permanent data storage, offering protection from data rot and the extremes of light, humidity and temperature change. Because the M-DISC-ready Mercury Pro engraves the data into this layer, you'll write once and read for generations to come.
Key features include:
