External portable hard drives can be of prime importance especially when the storage capacity of your PC has given up and there isn’t much that can be deleted. With the capacity count of the external drives on the rise, the portable HDs can be brought into a full fledged use. Other World Computing’s latest release, the Mercury On-The-Go Pro is a sensational option for it offers 500GB of storage at 100MB/sec data transfer speeds. This is the fastest and the highest capacity bus-powered portable external drive offered by the company. You can choose from 5400 or 7200 rpm models that feature FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 interface and USB 2.0.
These Drives are compatible with PC and the MacBooks and are available in three models. The Triple Interface has FreWire400/800, USB 2.0 and is priced at $239.99. The second variant is the Combo Interface with FireWire 400 and USB2.0 and it costs $219.99. You can opt to leave out the FireWire Interface in the third variant which would then cost $189.99. As always, with all these drives, the prices are bound to dip so I suggest that you should wait for a while before purchasing the On-The-Go Pro.
