4TB Western Digital Gadgets Product
Imagine having a vast electronic cornfield into which you can back up all those unnecessary files you’ve been dragging behind you for the past decade. That’s exactly what this $649.99 Western Digital My Book Studio Edition II offers, giving you 4TB of disk space, all in one enclosure.
Inside this fanless enclosure reside a couple of swappable 2TB hard disks configured in a RAID 0 array, and outside you can connect this monstrosity through eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and good old USB 2.0. it plays nice with Macs and PCs, and Western Digital says it has a “small footprint.” That depends on what you mean by “small,” but WD offers no dimensions.
I have a 2TB drive like this, and its operational prowess is mediocre at best. Its quirky connectivity only lets it show up on my PC about half the time, and its enclosure is astonishingly plastic-y and cheap with a USB port that can hardly hold a plug in place. There’s no reason to think this 4TB version will be any different. But hey, imagine that, four trillion bytes!
“Whether in the studio, at home, or on the road, I backup all my photographs and files on WD drives,” says Peter Read Miller, a staff photographer for Sports Illustrated magazine. “I use the My Book Studio II drive and WD ShareSpace network drive at home and in the studio and always have at least one My Passport(R) portable drive when I’m on the road. The bottom line is they’re safe, fast and reliable. In my business I need to rely on products that will protect my livelihood. WD’s line of products perform that task exceptionally well,” Miller added.
“The new My Book Studio Edition II is the best choice for creative professionals who require massive capacity and extra-fast performance,” said Dale Pistilli, vice president of marketing for WD’s branded products group. “With 4 terabytes of capacity, photographers, graphic artists, videographers, and home video enthusiasts alike will have the space they need to store hours of high definition videos as well as the performance they need for demanding video editing applications.”
