Our take
The OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual offers a generous 8TB of external storage, delivered through two 4TB drives, which implies potential for RAID configurations. The dual connectivity with USB 3.1 and eSATA is a big plus, providing flexibility for different systems and potentially faster transfers depending on your setup.

This unit is a practical choice for users needing substantial, versatile external storage for backups or media libraries across multiple operating systems.
