WD Launches Dual-Drive Network Storage System

by -


WD has unveiled its newly redesigned My Book World Edition II dual- drive network storage system in capacities of up to 4 TB.

The company said the double protection of two Mirrored (RAID 1) drives and continuous backup software, makes the storage system extra-safe for users to back up and store the data and digital media.

The new dual-drive system joins the recently introduced My Book World Edition and is compatible with PC and Mac computers.

According to a July 2008 report by research firm Parks Associates, the number of households worldwide with data networks will grow from around 170 million in 2008 to 240 million by year-end 2012.

The firm also reports that the average broadband household will see its digital media storage need grow to nearly 900 GB by year-end 2012.

In addition, consumers indicate that the most important feature for a network-attached storage (NAS) device is the amount of available storage.

With its massive 4 TB capacity, WD is hoping the My Book World Edition II network storage system will serve this rapidly growing need for home data storage.

The new network storage systems are available now in 2 TB and 4 TB capacities, MSRP with 4 TB is GBP £599.99 and 2 TB is GBP £369.99.
