The OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual 36TB 2-Bay USB 3.0 RAID Array (2 x 18TB) provides fast data transfer speeds. The array comes pre-configured in RAID 0 for optimal performance and is suitable for creative workflows, HD video, project archives, and system backups. With its 36TB capacity, you'll have ample space to store music, photos, movies, documents, and more. When set up as RAID 0, it achieves data transfer speeds of up to 407 MB/s.
Within the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual array are two SATA III 3.5" drive bays that each house a single 18TB 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" hard drive. Since the array ships with two drives, they can be hardware configured as RAID 0, 1, SPAN, or Independent modes, each of which offers performance, data redundancy, or a combination of both. However, please be aware this array is hardware configured as a RAID 0 volume, which provides increased read and write speeds, but no data redundancy.
This volume will be recognized on systems running macOS 10.6 and later, as well as Windows XP and later. When connected to a compatible Mac via USB, the Mercury Elite Pro Dual may also be used as a boot drive, and connectivity is achieved using an integrated 5 Gb/s USB-B 3.2 Gen 1 port, or an integrated 6 Gb/s eSATA 6G port. For those who do not have USB 3.2 Gen 1, the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 at speeds up to 480 Mb/s. To help ensure a smooth operating environment, the array uses a cooling fan, and its included 100-240 VAC power supply runs at 50/60 Hz to help ensure worldwide compatibility.
Also included with the with the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual is a 2.0' USB-B 3.2 Gen 1 to USB-A cable, a 3.3' eSATA 6G cable, an external power supply, and a power cable. Protection is provided by a limited 3-year warranty that includes complimentary Level 1 data recovery for one year.

Performance by Design
Mercury Elite Pro Dual features both high-speed USB 3.0 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) and eSATA 6G ports to offer the connectivity and versatility to work with your current equipment at fast speeds. A second-generation, free-flowing brushed-aluminum chassis with a high-performance fan delivers cool, quiet operation.
