Western Digital My Book Studio Edition II Has eSATA, Better Mac Support
Western Digital's been churning out these My Book external hard drives in all sorts of configurations, but this 1 and 2TB Studio Edition IIs seem to be the most feature rich yet. It's got FireWire 400/800, eSATA, USB 2.0, RAID 0 or 1, and Mac support (you can also reformat it for PCs). Looking at Western Digital's Editions page, these come equipped with all the features except for remote sharing and networking, because there's no network port. More » -

Western Digital My Books Go to 2TB
A scant five months since the My Book external hard drives hit 1TB, Western Digital upped their game and doubled the storage to 2TB. The My Book World Edition 2 has remote access, UPnP support, Gigabit Ethernet support and RAID 1 capabilities. There's actually no mention at all of USB 2.0 support, so this is an Ethernet-only NAS affair. Keep this in mind as you slam down $799 for one of these. [Western Digital via Crunchgear] -
