“The OWC Mercury Pro is convenient, fast and an awesome deal,” said Larry O’Connor, president of OWC in the press release. “You get all the cables you need, NTI DragonBurn, EMC Dantz Retrospect backup and restore software, five DVD-Rs in jewel cases, 25 pieces of 80-minute CD-R media and all the necessary connecting cables. It’s among the fastest of burners available on the market today and economical too.

Other Mercury Pro external drive solutions have received high marks from a number of reviewers, including four-out-of-five mice from Macworld and an “Editor’s Choice” designation from MacAddict.

“This latest edition serves to enhance a product already recognized for its quality, reliability, performance and competitive value,” O’Connor said in the press release. “It is also incredibly convenient for those who don’t want the hassle of installing an internal CD- and DVD-burning solution, or who would like to use their burner with multiple machines.”
