Standing out from other external-storage solutions, the My Book Studio II offers internal RAID0 and RAID1 options, giving either performance or data protection to the user.
The My Book Studio Edition II leverages WD’s 3TB Caviar Green hard drives inside. Even with two drives and no fan, the unit remains cool and quiet, and sips less power than the prior generation 2TB green drives. The enclosure is also easy to open, giving full access to the drives inside for repairs or upgrades down the line.
