OWC has launched a high performance external hard drive named OWC miniStack with USB 3.1 Gen 1 connectivity starting at $139.99. The miniStack is a powerful external hard drive with USB 3.1 Gen 1 connectivity designed to stack perfectly with Mac mini.
According to sources, the OWC miniStack offers 7200RPM hard drives with up to 6TB storage. Moreover, the OWC miniStack features USB 3.1 Gen 1 connectivity coupled with ultra-quiet Maglev cooling fan.
The newly launced OWC miniStack is capable of offering exceptional performance, with transfer speeds up to 208MB/s, capacities up to 6.0TB, and an ultra-quiet MagLev cooling fan-all in a low-profile aluminum enclosure with a glossy black top designed to complement the look and feel of Mac computers.
The OWC miniStack is an ideal solution to expand their computer’s storage for documents, movies, photos, music, and to perform Time Machine backups. The miniStack will be suitable for Mac users with a Mac mini desktop, home media library and server.
Commenting on the launch, Jen Soule, President of OWC disclosed that the OWC miniStack is an exciting new addition to our external storage lineup. Its footprint is identical to 2010 and later Mac mini, so it’s a perfect external drive and Time Machine backup for our customers who use a Mac mini as a home computer, or with their home entertainment system.
We designed the miniStack to be our most convenient, stackable external storage solution – and we think our customers who use a Mac at home are going to love its compact and stylish design, adds Soule.
OWC miniStack is designed to easily stack together with Mac mini computers and other miniStack drives. Hence, users can increase external storage without taking additional space on their desktop. The miniStack is a perfect solution to store and stream a personal collection of HD videos, music, and photos paired with USB 3.1 Gen 1 connectivity.
Users who use a Mac mini as a server for their home entertainment system will enjoy miniStack as a natural extension of their media libraries. And for photographers managing large volumes of RAW images, or music producers who use a Mac for their workstation, miniStack accelerates pro-audio and photo workflows with powerful 7200RPM hard drives.
The durable aluminum enclosure, dedicated power switch, and integrated cooling fan make the miniStack a professional-grade solution that fits perfectly alongside virtually any Mac or PC at home.
