Bottom Line
If size is your main consideration
Then you do well to check out the Western Digital My Book Studio Edition II (6TB). Not only does it epitomize capaciousness
It's a nimble performer with enough versatility to last until you fill it up
Whi
A little pricey on a dollar-per-GB basis. Install disc contains crapware. Capacity indicator requires software installation. Backup is data oriented
Not disaster-recovery oriented. eSATA cable not included.
ESATA cable is not included
Front LED capacity indicator requires installation of a utility
Apple default settings
No Firewire 400 or Ethernet ports
WD RAID Manager software runs only under Microsoft Windows
No Linux support.
The My Book Studio Edition II doesn't support USB 3.0 and internal hard drives made by other vendors. It runs hot
Seems buggy at times
And doesn't come with an eSATA cable
Pricey
But not unreasonable considering capacity
No eSATA cable included
No FireWire 400 port
Western Digital utility must be installed before RAID configuration can be changed.

Temps d'accès : 19 ms, Débits USB, FW 400 et 800 décevants, Coque plastique fragile
Le My Book Studio Edition II est très intéressant pour la configuration Raid. De plus lorsqu’il est en Raid 0, ses débits en e-Sata sont exceptionnels. Par contre, pour ce qui est des autres connectiques, mieux vaut s’orienter v...

Ce nouveau disque externe de Western Digital est plein de particularités. La première dentre elle tient au fait quil est dédié aux utilisateurs de Mac, et surtout aux zélateurs de la pomme qui en font un usage professionnel. On pense notamment aux cr...
