Western Digital has introduced a new high-capacity external drive for Mac and Windows computer users. The My Book World Edition II is a dual-drive network attached storage (NAS) system offering as much as 4 terabytes of storage. The Western Digital My Book World Edition II uses a RAID 1 configuration to safely store data on two separate drives. If one drive fails, photos, videos and other data will be protected on the mirror drive.

Photographers need lots of digital storage - even a casual photographer can quickly accumulate hundreds of gigabytes of photos these days. Losing photos because of a drive failure is unacceptable. Network attached storage (NAS) devices like the WD My Book World Edition II used to be mysterious boxes managed by IT professionals for companies that had to store tons of critical data. Guess what? Photographers have huge amounts of critical data to store. And NAS devices have come a long way in the past couple of years. The WD My Book World Edition II is about the same size as a standard high-capacity USB drive and installation and there’s no need for a computer programming degree to set up your drive. And since it’s a NAS device, not only does it store and back up your photos (or videos, iTunes library, etc.), it also makes them available through a network - or even remotely with the included MioNet remote access software and an Ethernet connection.

The new WD My Book World Edition II is available now in 2 and 4 GB versions for $399.99 and $699.99, respectively.
