WD My Book Studio Edition II (4TB)

[anon]

WD's My Book Studio Edition II now comes with a pair of 2TB drives and a choice of four interfaces: USB 2.0, eSATA, FireWire 400 and FW800. Having 4TB plus all those options'll cost you, though: $650 MSRP.

Peraphs it's possible to use it in RAID 1 or 0 ?

Peraphs it's possible to use it in RAID 1 or 0 ?

After a quick search, RAID 0 for sure...

[Breaker]

Thank you, but Raid 0 is for performance...

I think the USB interface is satured with only one disk... I hope RAID 1 for picture and personnal movies backup...

Raid 0 is only usefull if you use eSata I think, maybe Firefiwre but there is only 400 on PC (you must pay a lot for 800 on a PC)

What I meant is that the capability to use it is there.

Why it's so expensive ?

it has to be since it offers 2*2 TB or 4*1 TB device functionality in one set, not to mention its own casing and so on

external devices are usually used for backup purposes, even though by using higher speed interface like esata they can compete with internal hard drives

I have the 1 TB extern drive linked in cheatos post. It's of course slimmer than the 4 TB version like you see on the picture. I'm very pleased with how quiet and smooth it runs. When i bought I thought 1 TB would last forever altough now that it's almost full i see the point of getting this monster!

[RDK]

I think 4TB is the dream of any leecher.

[starforce]

When price dropped i well be jumping on this sexy 4tb this one must have
it is A wet dream for me i love Terabytes bytes it is like a good porno movie

[cutiepie]

that's a hefty price but for the product you get, it's a beauty to have!

i'm going out to get one once it starts to go on sale. which will be hopefully soon

[Rawlffles]

Yeah, I want one so bad. I actually have a 2TB external and I have been downloading constantly and just today I have finally filled it halfway up after three months.

[thecoolest]
