Western Digital has introduced its My Book Studio Edition II high-performance dual-drive storage systems available in capacities of 1TB and 2TB.
The eco-friendly, dual-drive My Book Studio Edition II external storage systems use WD’s GreenPower hard drives for power savings and cool and quiet operation, says Jim Welsh, vice president and general manager of WD’s branded products and consumer electronics groups. Formatted for Macs, these new storage systems feature four interfaces (FireWire 400/800, eSATA, USB 2.0); factory-shipped in RAID 0 (Striped) configuration [RAID 1 (Mirrored) configurable]; and WD GreenPower drives that consume approximately one-third less power than standard dual-drive external storage systems. They sport automatic and continuous backup software, a capacity gauge to see at a glance how much space is available on the system, intelligent drive management features (including automatic power-up, Safe Shutdown and LED status and activity lights) and a silver metallic finish that perfectly complements other Mac products.
My Book Studio Edition II dual-drive storage systems are available now at select retailers and WD’s online store. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for My Book Studio Edition II with 1 TB is US$349.99. The MSRP for My Book Studio Edition II with 2TB is $599.99.
