Features

Heat-dissipating, cool-to-the touch aluminum enclosure - The premium aluminum enclosure perfectly complements your Mac Computer and the sleek, book-like design allows two or more My Book drives to nestle neatly together like volumes on a shelf.

Premium performance - Save and access Data at top speeds with the dual high-performance FireWire 800 interface. Also includes a USB 2.0 interface for maximum flexibility.

Formatted HFS+ Journaled - Works out of the box with your Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard system. Can easily be reformatted to work with Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.

Password protection - Gain peace of mind knowing that your data is protected from unauthorized access or theft with password protection and hardware-based encryption. (Requires WD SmartWare software.)

Optional WD SmartWare - Visual backup software and drive management control center. Install all components, some or none. It's up to you.

Power miser - My Book external drives are designed to save energy. WD GreenPower Technology lowers internal drive power consumption by up to 30%; a sleep mode reduces power during idle times; and a power-saving feature turns the drive on and off with your computer.

Cool and quiet - The drive is designed to run cool without a fan. Lower operating temperatures extend the life of the drive and improve data reliability, while the fan-less design reduces noise output.
