OWC introduces Mercury On-The-Go drive

April 20th, 2008 by Edwin in PC Gadgets, USB Gadgets

owc.jpgOWC has just introduced a new 500GB portable hard drive known as the Mercury On-The-Go drive. This one is a little bit special compared to the rest, since it not only hooks up to your computer via USB 2.0, it also features both FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 connections. The best part of all? There is no bulky power adapters to lug around as it runs off bus power instead. The drive isn’t too speedy at 5,400 rpm, but it ought to suffice for a portable hard drive. Best to use this with a FireWire connection, since USB 2.0 will require you to rely on an AC adapter still. Backup solutions that ship with each purchase include NovaStor NovaBackup for Windows and Prosoft DataBackup III for Mac OS X . You can pick it up today for $359.99.
