WOODSTOCK, IL (MAY 23, 2005) – Technology solutions provider Other World
Computing (OWC) expands Mercury Elite line with new OWC Mercury Elite-AL
800 Pro RAID-1 Mirror FireWire 800/400 Solutions from $399.99.

“The Mercury Elite-AL Pro RAID-1 Mirror Solution provides for high
performance data needs while offering the security of a real-time,
‘mirrored’ backup,” said Larry O’Connor, president of OWC. “For situations
where you just can’t be too careful with mission-critical data, this
solution provides the peace of mind you’ve been looking for.”

with the most reliable disk mechanisms to provide the ultimate in
performance and reliable operation,” said Jen Soule, OWC Sales Manager.

32 Megabyte (MB) data buffer, these solutions deliver the FireWire 800
performance you expect.”
