Reviews: OWC Mercury On-The-Go
ZDNet has a review of the OWC Mercury On-The-Go (500GB). The name says it all: it’s a portable 500gb drive. With that storage capacity, do you really need a review? You know you don’t, but you’ll have to explain the cost to your significant other, so here’s a little something you can point them to.
- The good: Large capacity, USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and FireWire 800 support; bus powered; valuable bundled backup software; all data cables included.
- The bad: A bit bulkier and heavier than competing compact external hard drives. Power switch is hard to reach.
- The bottom line: It’s big, and it’s fast. The OWC Mercury On-The-Go offers fast throughput via USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and FireWire 800, and it’s the biggest compact hard drive, at 500GB, you can get right now.
It’s available at $350 USD, so you’re going to have to find a way to explain that amount when it goes missing.
