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.
• See your backup as it happens ? Seeing is believing. Visual backup displays your content categories and shows the progress of your backup.
• Bring back lost files effortlessly ? Retrieve your valuable data to its original location whether you've lost all your data or just overwritten an important file.
• Take control ? Customize your backup, set drive security, run diagnostics, manage the power settings, and more from the WD SmartWare control center.

Drive lock ? Gain peace of mind knowing that your data is protected from unauthorized access or theft with password protection and military-grade 256-bit hardware-based encryption.

Illuminated capacity gauge - See at a glance how much space is available on your drive.
USB 2.0 interface ? A simple connection that offers convenience and compatibility among multiple computers.

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.

Planet friendly ? We designed a small box to minimize waste and used recycled material. We encourage you to recycle it.
