Western Digital Releases 2TB Drive

March 30, 2009: Western Digital has given its line of My Book external storage drives a hefty capacity boost, with the announcement that 2TB single-drive systems are now available.

The addition gives the My Book the largest capacity on the market, and puts it in a solid position to cope with the exponential increases in storage requirements brought forth by HD video.

“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',” said Jim Welsh, senior vice president and general manager of WD's branded products and consumer electronics groups.

“As the volume and value of users digital content grows, backing up data on multiple CDs or DVDs becomes time consuming and inconvenient. 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,"
