About this product
The OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual is an external storage enclosure featuring two drive bays, initially configured with 2TB storage and upgradeable. It supports 3.5-inch HDDs and offers multiple interfaces including USB 3.0, Thunderbolt, SATA III, SATA II, and SATA I. Compatible with PCs, this black enclosure includes features like dual-drive support and is designed for robust external storage solutions.
Our take
For those needing versatile external storage with room to grow, the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual is a strong contender. The dual-drive feature means you can expand your storage significantly, starting with the included 2TB. I particularly appreciate the wide array of interfaces – USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt offer excellent connectivity for most systems, and it's backward compatible with older SATA standards too. While it's explicitly for 3.5" HDDs, meaning it's not the most compact option, the flexibility and upgradeability at this price point make it a compelling choice for PC users.
