OWC joins today’s parade of announcements with a brand new storage device for a home office, small business, and creatives. The Mercury Elite Pro Dual offers up to 32TB of storage capacity and three 10Gb/s powered USB ports.
It’s no lie that having some external storage on your desk at home or in an office is a valuable asset. Being able to store important files locally is an option many users need and want. While cloud storage is great for many use cases, sometimes, you just can’t store sensitive data in the cloud. Here’s what OWC’s press release had to say about the Mercury Elite Pro Dual.
