The first out the door with a 2TB hard drive, Western Digital takes the next logical step and also becomes the first to offer a 2TB single-drive external storage solution by upgrading its My Book line.
"The popularity among consumers of high-definition video cameras, digital photography and digital music downloads means that users are filling up their computers with massive amounts of digital content as fast as they can click 'save.' As the volume and value of users digital content grows, backing up data on multiple CDs or DVDs becomes time consuming and inconvenient. At the same time, consumers are realizing the monetary and emotional value of content and need to back up their most important files. The My Book family, with its massive 2 TB capacity allows users to backup all their data in one easy step and keep it in one easily accessible place," said Jim Welsh, senior vice president and general manager of WD's branded products and consumer electronics groups.
The 2TB capacity is available in WD's full line of My Books, including the My Book Studio Edition, My Book Home Edition, My Book Essential Edition, and My Book Mac Edition. Features, depending on model, include eSATA (Studio and Mac), Firewire 400/800 (Studio and Mac), Firewire 400 (Home), and USB 2.0 (all My Books). All models also come with a Kensington Security Slot, small footprint, and SmartPower features.
Pricing for the new 2TB My Books range from $330 to $380.

i liked the original version of the mybook. these 2.0 ones etc, make a lot of noise and they come with a bunch of mac software on them that makes them glitchy. all u need to do is wipe the mac files off the drive though.
my 2.0 is 750gb and makes ticking noises like HDD's in older computers, but my 500gb original is completely silent when writing.
