OWC OWCME3NH7T00 Mercury Elite Pro External Storage Enclosure with USB 3.2 (5Gb/s) - "Type F"

The Mercury Elite Pro began OWC's rich and renowned history of innovative storage solutions nearly 20 years ago. It has stood the test of time, continuing to offer an unmatched blend of performance, quality, and value in a single-drive storage solution. The latest generation upholds our commitment to excellence and offers customers convenient access to their data with even more space and faster transfer speeds.

An external solution for everyone
Photos, music, and videos are an integral part of our digital lives. Add presentations, reports, recordings, and correspondence, and the result is a staggering amount of data that needs to be stored in one accessible place. The Mercury Elite Pro is an essential desktop drive for creative professionals, small businesses, home offices, and families with ever-growing storage needs.
Housed in a rugged, solid aluminum enclosure, the Mercury Elite Pro is built for modern data management with a high-performance 7200RPM 3.5-inch hard drive with capacities up to 16TB. It can be used for a variety of personal and business needs, including:

Professional-level video editing projects
Time Machine and File History backup of important business data and irreplaceable personal photos
Consolidate files from multiple smaller drives into a single location for faster, more convenient access
Move data from an existing machine to a new computer
Expand game memory for console gaming systems
Free up space on your computer's internal drive for improved performance

Specially Designed
Offering an ideal blend of form and function, the Mercury Elite Pro's aluminum chassis provides maximum heat dissipation for quiet operation, while the shock-isolation design keeps the drive—and your data—safe and secure. It fits discreetly on any desktop with the included vertical orientation stand. You can also position it horizontally, using the included non-slip rubber feet, and even stack multiple drives to create a "power tower" of capacity.

Ready to use
The Mercury Elite Pro is not just for work and play. In addition to saving and backing up computer data or acting as a tow drive on set or in the editing suite, it can be used to watch videos, listen to music, and view images through your game console or connected directly to your Smart TV.

Gain crucial space
With their impressive realism, modern games have grown to an average of 40GB per game. This means that the standard 500GB internal disk can only hold 12 "normal" games. How can you play multiple games—including 4K games that can reach 100GB—if you have to uninstall other games? Simple... for every 1TB of Mercury Elite capacity you add as external storage to your console, you'll gain space to store up to 24 average-sized games. In addition to eliminating internal capacity limits, you'll gain the ability to download your most frequently used games and potentially load and save them faster.

Perfect for Demanding Use
We understand that confidence in the reliability of your equipment is crucial for creative professionals. That's why every pre-configured Mercury Elite Pro solution undergoes a multi-stage performance certification before shipping. This ensures that the product is fully functional and ready for demanding use right out of the box.
Sequential read/write performance numbers (max) are based on 14.0TB Toshiba HDD testing with AJA System Test (4KFull resolution, 64GB file size, 10bit RGB codec, files per frame test).
If movie playback from an external hard drive and the movie format is supported by the Smart TV.
