About the product
Small Footprint. Big Possibilities
The Mercury Elite Pro mini was introduced over a decade ago to emulate its award-winning desktop-sized Mercury Elite Pro "sibling." It has earned a stellar reputation for offering superior portable, bus-powered storage performance. This pintsized powerhouse's latest evolution gives creative pros, small office/home office users, students, and families the speed and universal connectivity of a USB-C 10Gb/s interface. Go ahead, connect the Mercury Elite Pro mini to a USB port on any past, present, or future Mac or PC, or iPadOS, Android, or Chrome OS device.
Cuts the Cord
Complementing the convenience of not having to worry about connection ports, the Mercury Elite Pro mini is bus-powered so you can free yourself from power adapter limitations. Cut the cord and take high-performance storage where you need it... from the desktop to a mountaintop.
Ready for Everything
Available in hard drive or lightning-fast SSD configurations, the Mercury Elite Pro mini is ready for your demanding A/V, digital photography, professional music, graphics, and general data backup needs. Its rugged, aircraft-grade fanless aluminum enclosure offers near silent operation. Use it for a variety of business and personal needs:
- Pro-level video editing projects
- Time Machine and File History backups of important business data and irreplaceable personal photos
- Consolidating files from multiple smaller drives to a single location for faster, more convenient access
- Migrating data from an existing machine to a new computer
- Expanding game storage of console gaming systems
- Freeing up space on a computer's internal drive to improve performance
Store from Minutes to Millions
All the features and "technospeak" of an external drive don't mean a thing if you don't know how much of a particular file type it can hold. For every 1TB of your OWC drive capacity, you can store up to any of the following:
- 250,000 photos
