WC's Mercury Pro U.2 Dual bridges the company's enterprise and consumer lines, bringing potentially huge storage capacities and blazing fast speeds to a desktop-sized unit. It's designed both for backup and general use, though the fact that it uses NVMe SSD drives, a newer format which offers up to 2800MB/sec of throughput, means it will be of particular interest to those working with large media files – for example editing multiple streams of high-bandwidth video.
