$150.00
Released October, 2009
The Pros:Easily and instantly recognized on Mac OS X. Works well with Time Machine for timed automatic backups. Case stays cool even during heavy operation.
The Cons:Somewhat loud during operation, squeaky. Does not include FireWire or eSATA connections. Cables can be sensitive, may claim to be accidentally disconnected.
The Western Digital My Book for Mac 2nd-gen is an environmentally friendly, high capacity, and ultra-portable external hard drive engineered specifically for Macintosh desktop or laptop systems. It requires no installation, as the unit’s plug-n-play capacity automatically detects and configures itself to any Macintosh system, especially the Apple TimeMachine.

Included also is an illuminated capacity gauge that shows the approximate amount of space currently available on the drive. Pivotal to the My Book for Mac is its WD SmartWare software, which presents a visual control center where users can monitor, back-up, and secure all their data. In fact, the software allows for both password protection AND 256-bit hardware-based encryption.
