Western Digital 2 TB My Book's
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 04:00 AM
"In a short amount of time the number of hard drive vendors offering 2 TB storage solutions to everyday consumers has grown from "barely any" to a respectable collection. That group is now even larger, as Western Digital announces that all its dual-drive My Book external hard drives are now available in 2 TB capacities. The dual-drive models are handily identified by the Roman numeral II after their name, so the models offering 2 TB of storage are the My Book World Edition II, My Book Pro Edition II, and the My Book Premium Edition II. The dual-drive systems can be set up for RAID 1 data mirroring, which halves the capacities of the units but provides real-time data redundancy. The World Edition II offers network sharing capabilities which can operate without a host computer, so users can access their files remotely via the Internet."
These look sweet and I've been wanting to try one out for a while. RAID makes it great for all sorts of backups and the massive size and sharing capabilities make it ideal for storing all your media. If any of you already have one, I'd love to know what you think.
