Other World Computing (OWC) http://www.macsales.com, a leading Mac and PC technology company, announced today it has won the American Photo 2007 Editor’s Choice Award for Best Storage Products for the OWC Mercury Blu-ray Drive™, its cutting-edge Blu-ray drive solution that is 100% compatible with any Windows or Mac® system.

Article excerpt: “While hard drives are cheap these days, serious shooters often back up image files to recordable DVDs because they’re less vulnerable to physical damage and can be easily stored in multiple locations. The capacity of these disks is limited to 8GB, however. Enter the Blu-ray format, which squeezes up to six times the data on the same size disc…Even 2X Blu-ray writers like the OWC Mercury, an external drive, are cheaper than their 1X predecessors. This one uses a Panasonic mechanism that allows recording of 25GB in about 45 minutes, a rate of 9MB/second,” American Photo, July/August 2007.
