The OWC Mercury Elite FireWire drives use an advanced 7200rpm IDE hard drives to achieve some of the fastest benchmark scores in the industry. The IBM and Western Digital drives used in the 60 / 80 / 100 and 120 GB models are absolute screamers, Excellent good looks, and top of the line performance are exactly why the OWC Mercury Elite drives are our best sellers across the board.
In terms of performance, there are no external FireWire drives that outperform these, especially the 60 and 80 which are using the IBM 60 GXP series mechanisms (as of November, 2001). Quiet, reliable, and outright FAST, they would serve you well in any storage need, they certainly excel at digital video and audio work.
Once again, we see a powerful performance boost when used with OSX. Besting the internal hard drive by over a minute in some cases, the Elite drives are awesome performers!
