<\/a><\/p>\nSydney, Australia: July 12, 2011 \u2013 Western Digital\u00ae today announced that its newest generation of the popular My Book\u00ae Studio\u2122 external hard drives are designed for use with Mac\u00ae computers and Apple Time Machine. Now available with a 3 TB storage capacity, the new design features a brushed aluminum casing to match the appearance of a Mac computer, and also serves to keep the drive cool while in use. The aluminium exterior, combined with its WD\u00ae Caviar\u00ae Green\u2122 drives, eliminates the need for an internal fan to reduce drive noise and extend the life of the drive. Although formatted for Mac computers, the My Book Studio external hard drives can also be reformatted for PCs.<\/p>\n
The My Book Studio external hard drive includes all the features and benefits that have made it one of the favourites among creative professionals and Mac computer enthusiasts, including its fast and flexible FireWire\u00ae 800\/400 and USB 2.0 interfaces, user-controlled automatic backup software and drive management, password protection and hardware encryption. Shipping in capacities of 1 TB, 2 TB and 3 TB, the My Book Studio drive includes the WD Caviar Green series of internal hard drives with WD GreenPower Technology\u2122.<\/p>\n
\u201cWD has updated the design of its My Book Studio drive while providing natural cooling features delivered by the new aluminum enclosure,\u201d said Jim Welsh, executive vice president and general manager of WD\u2019s branded products and consumer electronics groups. \u201cThe drive will maintain all the features that are important to the creative community, including high speed FireWire\u00ae 800 and adding large capacities up to 3 TB.\u201d<\/p>\n
