Backing-up All Your Stuff: an 18TB Hard Drive installed in OWC Mercury Elite Pro USB 3.2 Enclosure

Need a simple, relatively-compact single-drive solution for backup up a huge amount of data?

You don’t need RAID for backup (it’s an anti-feature for backup vs more redundancy), so why not keep it simple and huge?

The OWC Mercury Elite Pro with USB 3.2 is offered with up to 18TB capacity. You can buy it with the drive installed, or order the about $45 enclosure and add your hard drive of choice, such as the Western Digital 18.0TB Ultrastar DC HC550.

MPG is planning on testing the 18TB configuration soon.
