OWC Mercury Express

Owner’s Manual

To disconnect or unhook your OWC Mercury hard drive, follow these 

important steps to properly dismount your drive.

 

Windows Systems (all versions):

  If you wish to disconnect your OWC 

Mercury drive without shutting down your computer, you need to stop the 

device with the “Unplug or Eject Hardware” icon, located on the right side 

of the system tray. Your drive is now safe to power off and unhook.

Macintosh Systems (all versions): 

If you wish to disconnect your OWC 

Mercury drive without shutting down your computer, simply drag the 

OWC Mercury drive icon to the trash can on the desktop (or, in the dock 

using Mac OS X). Your drive is now safe to power off and unhook.

Share your Mac formatted drive with your PC using MacDrive 

(optional purchase)

After installing MacDrive, your HFS+ Macintosh volume will mount as if 

the drive were formatted in a native Windows format. MacDrive allows you 

to use your OWC Mercury hard drive on either platform without having to 

reformat or re-initialize the volume. We highly recommend this software 

for anyone that is sharing data in a cross platform environment.

Reformatting your OWC Mercury Hard Drive

To reformat or re-initialize your OWC Mercury hard drive, please visit our 

website and follow the directions for the OS you wish to format the drive 

with.
