OWC Mercury Pro Enclosure Details

OWC Mercury Pro 5.25" Optical Drive Enclosure – USB 3.2 (5Gbps)

Premium Aluminium External Enclosure for 5.25" SATA Blu-ray, DVD and CD Optical Drives

The OWC Mercury Pro is a premium desktop optical drive enclosure designed to transform a standard internal 5.25-inch SATA optical drive into a high-quality external USB drive.

With its robust aluminium construction, dedicated external power supply and high-speed USB 3.2 (5Gbps) connectivity, the Mercury Pro is an excellent enclosure for full-size Blu-ray writers and UHD Friendly Drives.

At UHD Friendly Drives, we particularly recommend the OWC Mercury Pro for customers who want a reliable, permanently installed external enclosure for their full-size optical drive.

Ideal for UHD Friendly Drives

The OWC Mercury Pro is particularly well suited to our full-size 5.25-inch UHD Friendly and LibreDrive-compatible optical drives.

Unlike portable optical drive enclosures that rely entirely on power supplied by a computer's USB port, the Mercury Pro uses its own dedicated 12V/3A external power supply.

This provides the optical drive with a stable source of power independently of the computer's USB port, while USB is used for data communication.

For demanding operations such as reading BD100, BD66 and BD50 Blu-ray discs, this makes the Mercury Pro an excellent choice for customers who want a robust desktop solution.

Premium Aluminium Construction

The Mercury Pro features a sleek and durable aluminium chassis designed to complement modern Mac and Windows systems.

Its substantial construction provides a secure home for your optical drive while maintaining a professional appearance suitable for both home and workstation environments.

The enclosure is also fanless, providing quiet operation without adding another cooling fan to your workspace.

Universal USB Connectivity

The OWC Mercury Pro provides a high-speed USB 3.2 (5Gbps) connection and is plug-and-play compatible with supported Mac, Windows and Linux systems.

The available USB bandwidth comfortably exceeds the transfer requirements of current CD, DVD, Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray optical drives.

No special enclosure driver is required for normal operation with supported Windows and macOS systems.

Why We Recommend the OWC Mercury Pro

For customers purchasing one of our full-size UHD Friendly Drives, the enclosure is every bit as important as the optical drive itself.

The OWC Mercury Pro provides a proper externally powered desktop solution rather than relying on the computer's USB port to supply the power required by a full-size optical drive.

Its combination of dedicated power, aluminium construction, fanless operation and reliable USB connectivity makes it one of our preferred enclosures for customers who intend to use their UHD Friendly Drive regularly.
