OWC Mercury Pro USB 3.2 External Blu-ray, DVD & CD Drive with M-DISC Support

Disc Drives Done Right

Most modern computers have ditched the optical drive — but that doesn't mean your discs are obsolete. The OWC Mercury Pro brings full-speed Blu-ray, DVD, and CD reading and writing back to any Mac or PC via USB 3.2, housed in a premium brushed aluminium enclosure that looks right at home on any serious desk setup.

Whether you're ripping a Blu-ray collection, burning archival backups, or accessing software on disc, the Mercury Pro handles it all with the reliability and build quality OWC is known for.

M-DISC: Archival Storage That Lasts Centuries

The Mercury Pro supports M-DISC — a military-grade archival disc format engineered to last 1,000+ years. Unlike standard optical media that degrades over time, M-DISC uses a rock-like inorganic layer that is immune to heat, humidity, and light. If you're archiving irreplaceable photos, documents, or data, this is the format to use.

Full Speed. Fanless. Silent.

• Interface: USB 3.2 (USB 3.0 port on rear)
• Disc support: Blu-ray, DVD, CD — read & write

Built to Last

The solid aluminium shell isn't just for looks — it acts as a passive heatsink, keeping the drive cool during extended sessions without a single moving fan. The result is a drive that runs silently and stays reliable for years.
