Western Digital, my book 2, Raid, 1TB Studio edition review
External hard drives have come a long way in the last few years, long gone are the noisy and slow performing devices that offer no real practical application as they run via usb and are unable to power down on the fly.
Western digital are a good established company and I have the pleasure of using two other smaller drives from the my book edition recently that I client was using. So I know what to expect, a lot of quality.
I needed a lot of storage as I wanted to back up everything, not just the essentials. So 1tb was the way forward, I also decided to us eSata ( to a sata2 port) for speed.
I know that there are some 1tb drives out their but the raid 0 set up is a brilliant addition, as a high data transfer rate is one of my main concerns.
Also the drive is very quiet and even though it does have a power switch (button) on the back it automatically powers down as computer shut down. So it is set and forget wear!
I give it 10 out of 10
