Western Digital redefines massive capacity

By:
There’s no stopping the data boom, and storage solution giant Western Digital acknowledges this trend by introducing storage products with capacities that now range from 3 terabytes to 6 terabytes.

Western Digital’s latest external storage products include the My Book Studio and My Book Studio Edition II external hard drives—huge capacity storage devices for creative professionals.

The new My Book Studio features 3 terabytes of capacity, while the My Book Studio Edition II can store up to 6 terabytes of content. The capacities of the new products are more than enough to meet the needs of today’s photographers, videographers and other creative professionals who create, store, edit and archive large HD video and photo files.

The new My Book Studio 3-terabyte external hard drive features a chassis made of brushed aluminum that complements the aesthetic design of Apple Mac computers. In fact, it is designed for use with Mac computers and Apple Time Machines.

The My Book Studio belongs to Western Digital’s Caviar Green drives. As such, it eliminates the need for an internal fan to reduce noise while data is being read, thus extending the life of the drive.

The My Book Studio external hard drives can also be reformatted for Windows PCs.

This external hard drive is also equipped with fast and flexible FireWire 800/400 and USB 2.0 interfaces, user-controlled automatic backup software and drive management, password protection and hardware encryption.

The new My Book 3 terabytes may retail for P10,672.

The My Book Studio Edition II is a dual drive storage system equipped with a USB 2.0 port, a fast eSATA, FireWire 800 and 400 interfaces for faster data speed transfer.

The My Book Studio Edition II comes with RAID-supported configurations, which can optimize speed and responsiveness for a variety of tasks including fast, smooth video editing, rendering of complex 3D objects or special effects, and faster saving/transferring enormous blocks of data.

WD’s My Book Studio Edition II 6 TB retails for P20,753.
