WD's External Drives Now in 2 TB

WD's External Drives Now in 2 TB

Techtree News Staff, Sep 13, 2007 1519 hrs IST

The new 2 TB capacity is available on WD's My Book World Edition II, Pro Edition II, and Premium Edition II models.

Expanding its lineup of external hard drives, Western Digital (WD) will now offer all models of its My Book dual-drive storage appliances in capacities up to 2 TB (terabyte).

WD claims that these new huge capacity models also feature extra data protection. Users can set the system to reserve half of its capacity to mirror users' data in real time using RAID technology - in this case, the RAID 1 setting.

According to Sharad Srivastava, sales director (South Asia and India) of Western Digital, "The explosive growth in devices that create rich multimedia content - from digital cameras to music players to digital video camcorders - continues to drive consumers' insatiable demand for more storage capacity."

The new 2 TB capacity is available on 3 models comprising My Book World Edition II, My Book Pro Edition II, and My Book Premium Edition II models.

Each model of the My Book family solves the storage needs of a variety of consumers and their respective purposes.

The unique remote-access of the World Edition II storage appliance offers a simple and secure way to access and share data, even when the local computer is off. On the other hand, the Pro Edition II and Premium Edition II are the easiest way to add extra storage to a PC or Mac and offer plenty of room to back up and store data, the company said.

WD's My Book family of dual-drive storage appliances with up to 2 TB will be available on the company's online store (http://www.westerndigital.com) and through select distributors and resellers for prices ranging from Rs 46, 000 to Rs 49, 000.
