WD releases 2TB external HDDs
Western Digital has bumped up versions of its chunky MyBook external hard drives to a whopping 2TB of raw storage capacity.

Weird...
I wanted a 2TB MyBook Mirror (the RAID version, so my data is safe), I also wanted it to act as a NAS. They don't seem to do this combo.

Can't wait for the useles stats to come out!
Wow, with this you can store 437,500 songs, or 2.5million photos or 104 days worth of video!
Amazing!
I better start snapping ... or downloading.

I've got 4 of the MyBook Essentials now. they're on amazon for about 80quid each
so if the EU price for a 2tb is any more than 160 quid, it becomes a really expensive way to free up a usb slot

No doubt they've done this to protect sales of "Sharespace," which costs twice as much.
