OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad USB-C (10Gb/s) RAID Storage Enclosure With SoftRAID

The OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad is a versatile external storage solution designed for professionals demanding high performance, flexibility, and advanced data security. Built with a durable aluminum enclosure, this drive system offers efficient heat dissipation and operates quietly, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments. Its four hot-swappable drive bays support both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch HDDs and SSDs, allowing you to configure a custom storage array without the need for adapters. This capacity flexibility ensures you never have to compromise on storage options, whether expanding your archive, editing large multimedia files, or managing extensive datasets.

Equipped with a powerful USB-C interface, the Mercury Elite Pro Quad delivers up to 10Gb/s bandwidth, compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.2 systems. The included USB-C to USB-A cable ensures backward compatibility with legacy systems. The front-facing LEDs provide real-time activity monitoring, while a front panel lock and rear Kensington lock slot secure your drives physically. The enclosure's vibration-absorbing feet and whisper-quiet fan contribute to a stable, cool, and silent operation, making it ideal for professional workflows and quiet office environments.

The Mercury Elite Pro Quad’s standout feature is its integration with SoftRAID, the world's fastest and most flexible RAID management software. SoftRAID supports RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, and 10 configurations, allowing users to optimize for speed, redundancy, or a balanced combination. Its predictive health monitoring proactively alerts you to potential disk or volume issues before failures occur, safeguarding your data. The software bundle includes a 3-year SoftRAID license, ensuring long-term support and peace of mind. Compatibility spans macOS 10.14+, Windows 10+, and Windows Server 2019/2022, with specific support for M1 Macs running macOS 11.3 or later.

Designed with input from professionals, the Mercury Elite Pro Quad features front-facing LEDs, a secure front panel lock, and a rear Kensington slot to deter unauthorized access.
