My Book Pro Edition II solves storage problems

You can never have enough storage these days and with more music and videos being downloaded and stored on PCs, it makes sense to think ahead.

Western Digital has upgraded its My Book Pro, a small external hard disk drive with 500GB of space, to the 1TB (terabyte) My Book Pro Edition II. Wdfmybook_pro_2t The casing has obviously gotten a bit bigger thanks to the two internal 500GB drives but for 1TB of storage, you are still talking about a very small device (26ins square).

This could be a real hit for that geek in your life this Christmas. The drive supports RAID technology which means you can store files across the whole 1TB or change the setting to RAID 1 so that half the drive mirrors your data in real-time for extra security if one drive happens to fail.

It has three connectivity options: FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 and will cost around £300. Full details here.
