Western Digital, a provider of external storage offerings, has introduced its My Book Studio Edition II dual-drive storage system with a 6 terabytes (TB) of storage to meet the capacity needs of today’s creative pros and Mac enthusiasts who create, store, edit and archive large HD video and photo files.
The company claims its new offering provides users 33% more storage than the previous capacity, while maintaining the same footprint. It is compatible with Apple Time Machine.
The new storage system features extra-fast performance with four interfaces (FireWire 800/400, eSATA, USB 2.0); equipped with WD GreenPower Technology for cool, eco-friendly operation; automatic and continuous backup software; user serviceability; capacity gauge; and five-year limited warranty.
Combining its extended 6 TB storage capacity, the new My Book Studio Edition II drive becomes an instant storage offering for a variety of professions including art and design, photography, legal and medical, and a host of other small businesses.
The system offers a quad interface providing maximum performance and flexibility including eSATA and FireWire 800 when maximum performance is essential; and FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 when system flexibility is most important, the company said.
WD branded products group vice president of marketing Dale Pistilli said the new offering provides creative individuals with the expanded storage and bandwidth they need to effectively shoot, edit, and safely store their video productions without the need to compress their videos.
The new storage offering is available now at WD’s online store at a MSRP of $549.99.
