Small Footprint. Big Possibilities The Mercury Elite Pro mini was introduced over a decade ago to emulate its award-winning desktop-sized Mercury Elite Pro “sibling.” It has earned a stellar reputation for offering superior portable storage performance.

Go ahead, connect Mercury Elite Pro mini to past, present, and future Macs and PCs, or any USB-equipped iPadOS, Android, or Chrome OS device. The included USB-C cable with tethered USB-A adapter lets you plug into nearly anything, anywhere.

**Ready for Everything ** Available in hard drive or lightning-fast SSD configurations, the Mercury Elite Pro mini is ready for your demanding A/V, digital photography, professional music, graphics, and general data backup needs. Its rugged, aircraft-grade fanless aluminum enclosure offers near silent operation. Use it for a variety of business and personal needs:

• Pro-level video editing projects
• Time Machine and File History backups of important business data and irreplaceable personal photos
• Consolidating files from multiple smaller drives to a single location for faster, more convenient access
• Migrating data from an existing machine to a new computer
• Expanding storage for console gaming systems, mobile devices, tablets, and streaming devices – anywhere storage is limited
• Freeing up space on a computer's internal drive to improve performance

**Store from Minutes to Millions ** All the features and "technospeak" of an external drive don't mean a thing without real-world examples. Let’s break it down to see how much space a single terabyte offers.
