WD redesigns dual-drive My Book World Edition II

MUMBAI, INDIA: WD introduced its newly redesigned My Book World Edition II dual-drive network storage system in capacities of up to 4TB.

With the double protection of two mirrored (RAID 1) drives and continuous backup software, the My Book World Edition II network storage system provides a place for users to back up and store the data and digital media from all the computers on their network in one central location.

The My Book World Edition II network storage system uses RAID 1 (Mirrored<1>) technology to automatically and continuously maintain a second copy of user’s data. If one drive in the two-drive system ever fails, the system continues to run and the data is safe.

In addition, the new network hard drive includes software that simplifies the task of setting up automatic and continuous data backup for all the PCs in the home. The My Book World Edition II storage systems ship in Mirrored mode and use half the capacity for file redundancy.

“Families have more and more digital media like movies, photos and music to store, share and protect. Having two drives inside the My Book World Edition II network storage system, instantaneously and automatically duplicating data, offers consumers the peace of mind of double safe, real-time protection of their valuable content,” said Sharad Srivastava, Director—Sales, India and South Asia, Western Digital.

“Families can relax knowing their valuable media is backed up while enjoying the ability to stream their content to a plethora of different devices from PCs and Macs to PS3s, Xbox 360s and the latest connected TVs.”

The drive is available in two sizes 2TB and 4TB and comes with a three-year warranty.
