WESTERN DIGITAL LAUNCH NEW MY BOOK AND MY PASSPORT DEVICES

Posted by Bumtion Network

USB flash drives and portable hard drives have become the tech accessory of choice by geeks and fashionistas alike, and with slick products such as Western Digital’s My Book and My Passport portable hard drives on the market now, there’s little wonder as to why.

Launched earlier this week Western Digital’s latest versions of these portable hard drives not only come in whopping capacities (anywhere from 320GB to 2TB) and slick enclosures, but are also available in a variety of colors to suit your liking. Since security has also been a rather big issue of late, Western Digital have included their very own hardware-based encryption solution called WD SmartWare with every My Passport and My Book.

Besides keeping your data secure, SmartWare also features an intuitive user interface that make commonly used tasks like backing up your computer or formatting the portable hard disk (it’s true, some people need a GUI to do this) as simple as clicking a button. SmartWare also provides a graphical summary of the types of content you have onboard your hard drive, so you can easily tell how much music, video or images you have on it.

The My Book and My Passport devices are available in either Windows or Mac formats (Mac format is TimeMachine compatible out-of-box) and come with a 3-year limited warranty.
