Play
WD, a Western Digital company, has redesigned its My Book and My Book for Mac lines of external desktop drives to provide as much as 4 terabytes (TB) of storage capacity and enhanced data protection for those who create and collect large volumes of data,
With USB 3.0 for speed, the new My Book lines are available in 2TB, 3TB and 4TB capacities for the largest content collections.
At any point in time, anything can happen to a person’s data. Whether it is a lost notebook or destructive virus, it is critical to keep data safe and maintain a back-up of important documents and valued content.
The company says the new drives’ data protection features are perfect for backing up content collections. WD SmartWare Pro automatic back-up software with Dropbox integration offers cloud back-up capabilities, and the WD Edition of Acronis True Image enables users to execute a full system back-up and securely delete digital files and programs.
“The new generation of My Book external hard drives provides greater speed, flexibility, content safety, and system security for our customers,” said Scott Steffens, general manager of WD’s consumer storage products group.
“Consumers are creating, downloading and storing more digital content than ever before, and our line of desktop drives is equipped with capacities and security measures to keep it all backed up and protected against system disaster, damage or theft,” he added.
The My Book for Mac will also incorporate SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and UAS connectivity for increased speed and flexibility. Available in 2TB/3TB capacities, My Book for Mac is compatible with Apple’s Time Machine for safe and effective back-up of files.
The drive is equipped with WD Security software for password protection and hardware encryption to protect files from unauthorised access, and comes with WD Utilities, which allows users to register drives, run diagnostics, and more.
My Book and My Book for Mac hard drives are protected by a three-year limited warranty and are available through selected distributors and resellers in Thailand.
