Review on ๐Ÿ’พ OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual Mini: High-Speed Bus-Powered RAID Storage Enclosure with USB 3.1 Gen 2 by William Turner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual Mini is a great build, value for money

So this thing is really well put together. Good metal construction. Easy to assemble. The power button on the back slides in very firmly and has a fairly large opening through the backplate. I've read a number of reviews and don't know what to fault. A guy complained about slow Time Machine backups. Time Machine is controlled by the operating system! Not this device. If you want to unblock, use "sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0" and turn off throttling. With. Oh yes, my Mac Mini is a POS 2014 with 4GB RAM and an i5.1 complaint. The front LEDs are bright.

Pros
  • Easily selectable RAID 0 and RAID 1 modes
Cons
  • Too long to wait
