WD MyBook Mirror Edition: Nothing Says "Safe" Like a Personal 2TB RAID Drive

WD just launched a drive that looks awfully familiar: Because the WD MyBook Mirror Edition houses two 3.5" GreenPower drives—in this case either 500GB or 1TB each—it uses the same case as the networked MyBook World Edition.

It comes Windows-formatted (though there's also one for Macs). As its name suggests, it comes RAID 1 (mirror) configured, but it can be set for striping instead, if that's how your geek flag flies.

But never fear. We plugged our drive into one of the PCs here via USB and found out what's up, first-hand. More »
