Other World Computing launches the new OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro 750GB model is the first FireWire 800/400 and USB 2.0 bus powered portable storage solution on the market. The Mercury On-The-Go Pro is a high-performance, pocket-sized portable storage solution for Mac or PC users featuring FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and/or USB 2.0 interfaces for data transfer speeds up to 100MB/s. With 750GB of storage capacity, the Mercury On-The-Go Pro now offers 50% more data storage capacity than existing models in the line and can hold up to 750,000 JPEG photos, 375 DVD movies, 57 hours of digital video, or 262,500 MP3 songs.

Small enough to fit into a shirt pocket with its diminutive 3.5″ x 5.5″ x 1″ footprint, the OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro offers 750GB of high performance data storage/backup capacity in a stylish, impact resistant acrylic case. Because it’s bus-powered, the OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro can be used without an AC adapter, which makes it ideal for presentations, multimedia, law enforcement, surveyors, and other “mobile office” uses.
