The All-New Desktop Optical
 
Configured For Your Workflow
Now with an updated design, OWC Mercury Pro is the premier drive to bring optical media back to your workflow. With a sleek, durable aluminum chassis, and high-speed USB 3.0 interface, Mercury Pro delivers reliable performance that matches its good looks. It's cooler, quieter, and better than ever.
 
Universal USB 3.0 Connectivity
The new Mercury Pro is plug-and-play compatible with both Mac and PC workflows, making it your versatile premium optical drive. With high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity, playback of optical media, data transfer, and archive all happen as fast as possible, with bandwidth to spare.
 
M-DISC - The Perfect Long-Term Archive Solution
The OWC Mercury Pro supports the revolutionary M-DISC format, making it the ideal solution for reliable long-term backup and archiving. Compared to other recordable storage media like DVDs and Tape, M-DISC offers superior reliability and protection against data loss that will last a thousand years (or more)!
 
M-DISCs use a proprietary layer made from inorganic, rock-like material for permanent data storage, protected from data rot and extremes of light, humidity and temperature change. Once written, the M-DISC can be read or played on any quality DVD drive that supports the common DVD+R/RW format.
 
Reliability and Support You Can Count On
Like all OWC drives, the Mercury Pro is built to the highest standards of reliability and performance.

Better than normal drives

Using an Apple SuperDrive which do go wrong and are non repairable, so this time for the same price decided on this OWC model.
Was unsure what to expect regarding working with Mac computers, did not need to worry, plugged in and was working within minutes.
And best thing is for future use, other drives can be added when out of warranty.
