Western Digital My Book Essential 2TB External Hard Drive Hi Speed USB

The world's best-selling external hard drive now features a new, smart, visual backup solution that protects your data automatically.
Smaller, sleeker, more streamlined design - WD has made these award winning drives even smaller, sleeker, and more elegant. As always, this book like shape takes up less space on your desk and allows two or more My Book drives to nestle neatly together like volumes on a shelf.

WD SmartWare - A control center for your drive that gives you the power to:
* Protect your data automatically - Relax. Your data is secure. Automatic, continuous backup will instantly make a second copy whenever you add or change a file.

Power miser - My Book external drives are designed to save energy. WD GreenPower Technology lowers internal drive power consumption by up to 30%, a sleep mode reduces power during idle times, and a power saving feature turns the drive on and off with your computer.
