Bangkok--19 Mar--Pr Plus Two
Western Digital announced today that its newest My Bookิ storage system provides users a safe place to secure up to one terabyte (1 TB) of digital content. Available now, the My Book Pro Edition II system uses RAID technology to instantaneously duplicate user data for extra protection or to accelerate the delivery of data to users.
The My Book Pro Edition II system can be set by users to reserve half of its capacity to mirror users’ data in real time using RAID technology — in this case, the RAID 1 setting. This means that when data is saved to the My Book Pro Edition II system, two copies of the data are instantaneously recorded — each on separate internal hard drives. RAID 1 ensures the protection of users’ data because in the unlikely event that one of the hard drives inside fails, the other hard drive will continue to read and write data until the faulty hard drive is replaced and rebuilt to once again safely mirror the data.
New My Book Pro Edition II units are shipped in the RAID 0 setting, which spreads data across both internal hard drives, enabling the 1 TB capacity and accelerated reading and recording of data. RAID technology cleverly combines the work of two internal drives to increase performance, much like using two garden hoses to fill a bucket rather than one. The high performance of My Book Pro Edition II provides users an advantage for advanced applications such as editing multiple streams of video without dropping frames.
My Book Pro Edition II is designed for small-office environments where large amounts of content are managed, such as groups of creative professionals, as well as consumers who have highly valuable libraries of music, photos and video. In addition to capacities as large as 1 TB and two RAID options, the new system features advanced backup software, unique My Book features that simplify operation and three interfaces: FireWire? 800, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0.
A challenge for many office and home users is physical desk space. Consuming less than 26 square inches of desk space, My Book Pro Edition II has a smaller footprint than competitive systems using two internal drives for 1 TB of capacity and is comparable to some storage systems using only one internal hard drive for much less capacity.
My Book Pro Edition II, is available now at the retail stores in Pantip Plaza, all branches of IT Mall and has a suggested retail price of baht 18,999 (VAT included).
