 Mercury portable hard disk from OWC : At the 2006 Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco, Other World Computing (OWC) gave an advanced preview of the highest capacity, fastest speed portable storage solution on the market, offering the newly engineered Mercury On-The-Go Pro Series 800/400+USB2 in an under 12-ounce design with an unparallel 160GB storage capacity and running speed of 5,400 RPM. OWC was scheduled to introduce the unmatched 2.5 inch, 160GB drive in early second quarter 2006 but instead shocked the technology industry by previewing the design prior to the CES in Las Vegas, with the unit's official premier and immediate availability to the public at the Macworld Conference and Expo.
