New
My Book® Family of Drives offers up to 4 TB for Rich Content Collectors and
Protects that Data with Automatic, Cloud and Complete System Backup
WD®,
a Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC) company, has redesigned its popular My Book®
and My Book for Mac
lines of external desktop drives to provide as much as 4 TB storage capacity
and enhanced data protection for those who create and collect large volumes of data, video, music
and photos.
With USB 3.0 for speed, the new My Book lines are available in 2 TB, 3
TB and 4 TB capacities for the largest content collections. At any point in
time, anything can happen to one’s data. Whether it’s a lost notebook or
destructive virus, it’s critical to keep data safe and maintain a backup of
important documents and valued content.
The new drives’ data protection features are perfect for backing up content
collections. WD SmartWare™ Pro automatic back-up software with Dropbox™
integration offers cloud backup capabilities, and the WD Edition of Acronis®
True Image™ enables users to execute a full system backup and securely delete digital
files and programs.
“The new generation of My Book external hard
drives provides greater speed, flexibility, content safety, and system security
for our customers,” explains Scott Steffens, general manager of WD’s consumer storage
products group. “Consumers are creating, downloading, and storing more digital
content than ever before and our line of desktop drives are equipped with
capacities and security measures to keep it all backed-up and protected against
system disaster, damage or theft.”
Security measures against unauthorized access to the drive are handled
through WD SmartWare Pro automatic backup software with hardware encryption and
password protection. To protect files against theft, fire, flood or other
natural disaster, My Book integrates Dropbox to store files in the cloud.
For full system backup and secure deletion of files, My Book includes
Acronis True Image (ATI) WD Edition. ATI
WD Edition is an integrated software suite that ensures security of all information
on the PC and can be used to securely delete any confidential data no longer
needed. ATI WD is also used for disaster recovery in case of a fatal system
crash, recovering the entire PC including files, software and preferences.
The My Book for Mac will also incorporate SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and UAS
connectivity for increased speed and flexibility. Available in 2TB / 3TB capacities, My Book
for Mac is compatible with Apple’s Time Machine™ for safe and effective backup
of files. The drive is equipped with WD
Security software for password protection and hardware encryption to protect
files from unauthorized access, and comes with WD Utilities, which allows users
to register drives, run diagnostics, and more.
