Other World Computing(OWC),the leading technical solutions provider, today announced the introduction and immediate availability of a 750 Gigabyte (GB) version of its flagship external storage solution line, the Mercury™ Elite-AL Pro FireWire400/800+USB2.0.
This new 750GB model, introductory priced and immediately available for $599.99, is the industry’s first external FireWire 800/400+USB2 single drive solution and complements the existing 80GB to 500GB models available from $149.99. As with the existing models, this new 750GB solution continues to provide exceptionally high data performance and reliability in the same conveniently small profile occupying only 9.0 x 2.1 x 5.8 inches.
The OWC Mercury Elite-AL’s sleek aluminum design optimizes function while also aesthetically enhancing the desktop, and is further built to safely endure the rigorous demands of portability. This complete, modern solution is perfect for the safe, easy, and secure transfer of work and data from the home to the office, to client facilities, or even to remote work or for use while on the road – it is not just a storage solution, it is the modern technology solution that lets consumers own the future today.
“Other World Computing is proud to make the newest technology available to consumers before they even expect it, like providing the first ever 750GB external storage solution,” says Larry O’Connor, CEO of OWC. “The latest perpendicular hard disk technology enhances performance, while increasing capacities to accommodate our ever growing storage requirements.”
