Mercury Pro prices drop
OWC is reducing the price of its Mercury Pro Quad Interface Blu-ray drives, and also introducing new Toast Pro bundle packages. The Mercury Pros feature FireWire 400/800, USB 2.0 and eSATA interfaces. Two models exist, the first of which now costs $300 and burns Blu-ray discs at 6x speeds, DVDs at 16x, and CDs at 40x. The second model costs $350, and burns Blu-ray at 8x, and CDs at 32x.
Both of the Mercury Pro drives are featured in Toast 10 Titanium Pro bundles, priced at $400 and $450. Toast Pro is used to handle burning, and can additionally perform tasks such as recovering files from damaged discs. The software separately costs $150.
