Two Bays of RAID Storage and a Three-Port Hub in One Desktop Box
On an editor's desk, a camera, a card reader, a keyboard, and a drive all fight for the same few ports. The OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual with 3-Port Hub clears that jam: it holds 12TB across two drives, connects to any Mac or PC over USB-C at 10Gb/s, and adds three more USB ports on the back for the gear that used to hog your laptop. Real-world transfers top 1GB/s, fast enough for backup, photo libraries, audio, and video editing. Browse more OWC gear or other data storage.
How It Works
The Mercury Elite Pro Dual ships with two 6TB drives installed for 12TB of capacity, and its two bays accept your choice of 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SSDs or HDDs if you want to reconfigure later. Built-in hardware RAID lets you choose the mode that fits the job: RAID 1 mirrors both drives for redundancy, RAID 0 or SPAN combine them for capacity and speed, or run them independently. It is plug-and-play with no drivers, includes the cables you need, and OWC Dock Ejector software safely dismounts the drive and anything connected to its hub in a single click. A whisper-quiet design keeps it unobtrusive on a busy desk.
