Mercury Elite Pro Dock
Mercury Elite Pro Dock
With the Mercury Elite Pro Dock, you’ll have plenty of room to duplicate footage, create and manage archives, or render and process effects. Connect your favorite peripherals via USB ports. Ingest the day’s shoot or drone footage with the frontside reader. Through a single-cable connection, you can find the flexibility you need to meet the challenges of a changing digital workflow.
With multi-drive media dumps, controllers, A/V outputs, and a mess of device cables, it can be hard enough to find space for your notebook let alone room to work. The Mercury Elite Pro Dock fights the clutter with a single-cable connection that delivers storage, ethernet sharing, charging power, and 4K display support while neatly consolidating all your peripheral device cables. Reclaim your workspace and reduce your stress.
With the built-in hardware-based RAID controller, you get speed and security without being dependent on what operating system you are running. If you work in a cross-platform world, you can easily connect the Mercury Elite Pro Dock to Mac and PC using OWC’s MacDrive software (sold separately).
You can customize the Mercury Elite Pro Dock to quickly adapt to project changes and help you stay ahead of deadlines. Install your choice of 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch HDDs or SSDs and even combine the speed of a SSD with the cost-effective storage capacity of a HDD. With built-in hardware RAID, you have four drive set-up choices:
- Non-RAID to keep the drives as independent volumes
- RAID 1 (mirror) for backup reliability
- RAID 0 (stripe) for optimal performance and maximum speed or use
- Span to combine the drive capacities into one huge volume for extra-large storage capacities
Done with the drives but need the connectivity? Use OWC’s free Dock Ejector utility to quickly and safely eject the RAID or any other disks attached to the Mercury Elite Pro Dock.
