OWC’s Mercury Pro U.2 Dual bridges the company’s enterprise and consumer lines, bringing potentially huge storage capacities and blazing fast speeds to a desktop-sized unit. It’s designed both for backup and general use, though it uses NVMe SSD drives, a newer format which offers up to 2,800MB/sec of throughput, so it will be of particular interest to those working with large media files – for example, editing multiple streams of high-bandwidth video.
