OWC Mercury On The Go 320GB FW Drive review un-boxing
Today I received a review unit of the OWC Mercury On-The-Go FireWire 800/400 + USB 2.0 2.5″ Portable SATA hard drive. My love for hard drives of all kinds is no secret to all of you. However this is the first time I’ve owned an FW800 drive. Below are some un-boxing pictures for you to enjoy. I will partition this baby and try it out for several weeks. I’ll then provide a full review on the podcast sometime in April.
These are solid performers (figuratively and literally). Have 4, from a 4200 to 7200 rpm, used of course for storage and also as scratch disk (Photoshop, FCP).

Oh I'm so glad I'm not alone in my lust for hard drives. Yes so far I was able to perform a 200GB backup in 2 hours, did a partition and boy is FW800 fast.

I have the OWC Mercury Elite Pro. I love watching it scream through making a carbon copy cloner image to a drive I put in the Elite via FW800.
