The Do-It-All Tool for Digital Workflows
With dual drive bays, seven connectivity ports, and a SD 4.0 card reader, the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dock is the do-it-all tool that will organize your digital life. 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.

Reclaim Your Desktop
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. Mercury Elite Pro Dock fights the clutter with a single-cable connection that delivers storage, ethernet sharing, charging power, and 4K monitor support while neatly consolidating all your peripheral device cables. Reclaim your workspace and reduce your stress.

Configure to Your Unique Needs
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” or 3.5” HDDs or SSD and even combine the speed of a SSD and 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? Just eject the RAID from your computer and the Mercury Elite Pro Dock keeps you working smoothly.

A RAID as Mobile as Your Life
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).

Professional Grade = Ready to Work
We understand having confidence in gear reliability is paramount to creative professionals. That’s why every Mercury Elite Pro Dock configured solution undergoes OWC's multi-hour drive "burn-in" performance certification procedure prior to shipping. This ensures it arrives operating properly and immediately ready for demanding use.
