March 11, 2009: WD has released a redesigned version of its My Book World Edition network storage drive that simplifies the backing up of data from multiple computers.
Designed for consumers who have multiple computers on a home network, the new drive will be available in 1 terabyte and 2 terabyte capacities and works seamlessly on networks with both Windows and Mac computers. The new drives feature automatic, continuous backup for all the computers on the network, simple file recovery for lost or damaged files and easy access to data from anywhere, anytime.
Music, photos and videos can be streamed directly from the My Book World Edition drive to any PC, Mac or connected DLNA media player (such as Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation3 game consoles, wireless digital pictures frames or TVs) using the integrated UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) media server and iTunes Music server software. Families can also securely access and share their centralised files from anywhere in the world where they have access to the Internet, using the My Book World Edition drive’s Web remote access service.
The 1TB version of the My Book World Edition has an RRP of $399, while the 2TB version sells for $699. Both come with three-year warranties. For more information, visit www.westerndigital.com.
