“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 33 – An OWC Elite quad-interface mini 320GB hard drive
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Daniel.
On the Thirty-Third Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) An OWC Elite mini 320GB drive!
It seems as though with each product update, Apple takes away one more port or supported interface. Such is the price of progress I suppose, but for those of us who enjoy connecting a bunch of crap to our MacBooks at the same time, USB ports are in short supply. That’s why OWC’s Elite quad-interface mini 320GB hard drive is so cool. Not only is it just the ticket for bus-powered, on-the-go backup, but its FOUR supported connections means it can connect to just about any interface worth mentioning.
High performance and Plug and Play data storage/backup reliability with a fanless, bus powered design.
With your choice of a 2.5″ Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive OR Solid State Drive (SSD) (you’re getting the SATA drive), the latest chipset, and a “Quad Interface” of FireWire 800/400/USB 2.0/eSATA connectivity, the Mercury Elite-AL Pro mini Portable Storage Solution delivers up to 300MB/s data transfer speeds for demanding data storage and backup needs. All that performance resides in an impact resistant, heat dissipating 5.5 in (L) x 3.8 in (W) x 1.1 in (H) brushed aluminum enclosure with super quiet operation.
To enter: Speaking of ports, (and exotic ports of call) to enter just tell us What is the one place you’d most like to visit before you die. Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to ALL READERS WORLD-WIDE. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
