Imagine how much data you could bring along in just your pocket these days? It’s as much as 1TB. The newly announced OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro is a 2.5 inch portable and pocket-sized hard disk drive that offers 1TB storage capacity.
This OWC 1TB portable hard drive is both FireWire 800/400 and USB 2.0 bus powered. It can deliver a data transfer speed of 100MB/s and is bus powered (via FireWire or USB port) that does not need external power adapter to keep it running.
This little pocket-sized storage allows you to bring along the equivalent of 1,000,000 JPEG photos, 500 DVD movies, 76 hours of digital video, or 350,000 MP3 songs, anywhere you go. This OWC hard drive is definitely one specially designed for anyone to carry around as it comes in a stylish case that can withstand impacts.
With all the conveniences offered, the price isn’t low too, the version comes with both USB and FireWire 800/400 costs you a whopping $360, while the USB only version costs only $300.
