Speed is what you need when for video editing, big design projects, or managing photo shoots and that’s what this drive delivers with FireWire 800 and eSATA connectivity. With Western Digital's automatic backup capability, your creative masterpieces will be backed up the minute you save them. Back up important projects to multiple destinations including files servers, portable drives and My Book. Synchronize project files to keep them current and secure. Set it and forget it; every time you save a change it's automatically backed up. Takes no more space than a paperback book. Collect two or more and they nest neatly together like volumes on a shelf.

The capacity gauge allows you to see at a glance how much space is available on your drive. With SmartPower features, the drive turns itself on and off with your computer and Safe Shutdown prevents the drive from being powered down until all your data has been written. (Works with the USB and FireWire connections only.) The My Book enclosure’s heat dissipating design with Morse Code prevents heat buildup… a notorious data killer. Installation is a snap because you don't really install this drive- you just plug it in and it's ready to use. There is no CD to install; the included software loads from the drive the first time you plug it in.
