 WD today introduced its new My Book Mirror Edition dual-drive storage systems, which can automatically store valuable personal content not once, but twice, to maximize data safety. This RAID-based continuous data protection feature, called mirroring, makes WD's My Book Mirror Edition storage systems the safest place for storing irreplaceable data.
When users store their personal content on a My Book Mirror Edition system, their valuable data is automatically mirrored for extra protection -- making it easy and economical to benefit from the data redundancy typically found in corporate data centers. This mirroring technology makes the new dual-drive systems an ideal storage solution for photographers, home users and small offices and anyone looking for extra assurance that their data is safe.
Jim Welsh, vice president and general manager of branded products and consumer electronics groups for WD, said, "Personal and business content are extremely valuable -- both emotionally and financially. Our new My Book Mirror system helps users sleep easy, knowing that their data is safe."
Formatted for Windows computers, these new storage systems feature:
* USB 2.0 interface for flexibility and convenience
* Configured out-of-the box in RAID 1 (Mirrored) mode [ RAID 0 (Striped) configurable ]
* Available in capacities of up to 1 TB and 2 TB, the My Book Mirror Edition storage systems ship in Mirrored mode and use half the capacity for file redundancy
* Cool, eco-friendly operation with GreenPower drives that consume approximately one-third less power than standard dual-drive external storage systems and efficient convection cooling architecture and power-saving mode
* Designed without a fan for whisper-quiet operation in a home or office environment
* Automatic and continuous backup software that allows users to simultaneously save a change and have it backed up on the second drive for the ultimate in data protection
* User serviceability, enabling owner to open the enclosure and replace the drives inside
* Capacity gauge to see at a glance how much space is available on the system
* Intelligent drive management features, including automatic power-up, Safe Shutdown and LED status and activity lights
* 3-year limited warranty.
