Design and features




Despite its immense block-like looks it's actually rather light at a mere 2.3 kg. The drive feels a bit rickety and not nearly as solid as its smaller sibling. This one also claims that it can be serviced by the user himself. However, the enclosure can only have WD GreenPower drives inserted into it. It follows the My Book tradition of having a blue Cyclops-like led display on the front.

This serves as a capacity indicator, if you're running on RAID 1, then it starts off as half full. There are slits for ventilation along the top, back and bottom, which is good considering it has no fan.

I want a portable 500GB laptop hard disk drive RAID. How's that for a product. Hope some HDD company is listening.
