Other World Computing (OWC) today announced an expanded lineup of portable Mercury On-The-Go 2.5-inch FireWire drives, including new 20 and 40GB models running at 5400RPMs, and a 60GB model running at 4200RPMs. OWC also lowered prices on its On-The-Go drives by as much as 30 percent.
Designed to provide both Macintosh and Windows personal computer owners with quick and mobile storage, the OWC Mercury On-The-Go FireWire drives weigh 12 ounces or less, have the speed to transfer large quantities of data quickly and the capacity to store thousands of MP3 files, hundreds of large images, and/or backup an entire internal hard drive. They are available with 20, 30, 40 and 60GBs of storage and speeds of 4200 or 5400RPMs. Pricing for the drives begins at $175.97 for a 20GB, 4200RPM model.
“Our On-The-Go FireWire drives have proven to be a reliable, high-performance storage solution that just happens to be small enough to fit in the palm of your hand,” said Larry O’Connor, president and chief executive officer of OWC. “At OWC, we are committed to providing the best hardware at the most competitive pricing, and with our recent additions and lowered pricing, the On-The-Go line is an attractive storage solution for anyone that requires mobility, capacity and performance for the computing needs.”
