These new drives, in capacities of 80- to 800 Gigabytes (GB) and priced from $129.99, use the same Oxford-based bridge solutions as the existing Mercury Elite line, except in a new modern, all-aluminum case.
“You get a hot new look but with the same cool performance and reliability you’ve come to expect from our Elites; it doesn’t get any better than that,” said Larry O’Connor, president of OWC. “We’ve seen a lot of requests for a design that matches up to Apple’s aluminum style and our new Elite-AL Pro is our answer to that.”
Four versions of the drives are immediately available:

“These drives are sleek, fast and totally plug-and-play,” O’Connor said. “They are perfect for the most demanding audio/video work, music creation, data storage and more. These drives have also received Dantz/EMC Retrospect Backup Certification for our customers’ full confidence when it comes to the safety of their stored data.”
All Elite-AL Pro models are covered by a two-year warranty and include Dantz/EMC Retrospect Backup, Intech Hard Disk SpeedTools and all connecting cables. The drives also are compatible with Apple OS X 10.1 and later (including ‘Tiger’), Windows 98SE and later, in addition to Linux.
