It’s suitable for desktop, enterprice, CE and as external hard drive and is able to save up to 40% in power consumption, or as much as $10 per drive per year, which equates to reducing CO2 emission by up to 60 kilograms per drive per year, great news for environmentalists.

The My Book dual-drive is now available in capacities up to 2TB. The unique remote-access of WD’s My Book World Edition II storage appliance offers users a surprisingly simple and secure way to access and share data, photos, and music at home, in the office, and anywhere in the world - even when their local computer is off.
