Designed for Professionals
Every detail was considered when designing the Mercury Elite Pro Quad. Built with a heat-dissipating aluminum enclosure, a whisper-quiet fan, and vibration-absorbing feet, the Mercury Elite Pro Quad runs cool and quietly, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments. Front-facing LEDs provide an instant drive-activity snapshot, while the front panel access lock keeps your drives safe. You can even secure the entire drive with the rear-mounted Kensington compatible lock slot. On top of that, drive-equipped models undergo OWC's multi-hour drive "burn-in" performance certification procedure to ensure that your drive arrives operating properly and ready to perform.
Capacity without Compromise
Compatible with 2.5" and 3.5" drives, the Mercury Elite Pro Quad's four universal drive bays let users pack up to a massive 80TB of storage. With this level of capacity and drive flexibility, you will not have to compromise when it comes to your storage.
The Most Powerful RAID Tool on the Planet.
SoftRAID is easy-to-use, high-performance RAID software for Mac and PC. It harnesses your computer’s own processor to run faster than typical hardware RAID, while continuously monitoring your drives to warn you before problems strike. Every OWC enclosure includes 3 years of SoftRAID Premium.
- High-Performance RAID volumes in RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 and 1+0, tuned by the latest drivers for maximum speed — with up to 50% faster writes on Apple silicon.
- Predictive Health Monitoring continuously tracks SMART data, drive wear and temperature, with desktop and email alerts so you’re warned well before a disk fails.
- Seamless Cross-Platform Sharing of Apple-formatted APFS and HFS+ volumes between Mac and Windows — no extra tools or added cost.
- Effortless setup: just connect your array, choose a RAID level and go; SoftRAID Standard volumes stay readable on macOS even with no software installed.
- Certified & trusted: every disk is validated before use to keep your data safe, backed by 20+ years of use by creative pros and IT teams.
M1 Macs require macOS 11.3 or later. SoftRAID is licensed per computer.
The Flexibility of USB-C
The Mercury Elite Pro Quad's powerful USB-C interface delivers 10Gb/s USB 3.2 bandwidth and works with any USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 equipped Mac or Windows PC. Simply connect the Mercury Elite Pro Quad via the included USB-C cable to experience next-level performance. If your computer doesn't feature USB-C connectivity, the included USB-C to USB-A cable brings backward compatibility for machines with legacy USB ports.
Professional Grade = Ready to Work
We understand having confidence in gear reliability is paramount to creative professionals. That's why every ThunderBay undergoes OWC's multi-hour "burn-in" performance certification prior to shipping. This ensures your ThunderBay arrives operating properly and immediately ready for demanding use.
Work with Ultimate Confidence
Active workspaces expose gear to unexpected bumps and shoves. OWC ClingOn custom cable stabilizers (available separately) screw into the OWC Dock or OWC Drive housing to reduce – if not completely eliminate – cable strain on Thunderbolt and USB-C connections so you can work with ultimate confidence even in the highest foot traffic environments.
