The editors didn't like

  • Unimpressive write speeds
  • 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.

  • My Book Studio er i utgangspunktet rettet mot Mac-markedet, men den fungerer utmerket med en pc også. Prisen for My Book Studio II i 2 terabyte-versjon er cirka 3 300 kroner inklusive mva. En versjon på 1 terabyte (2 x 500 gigabyte) finnes også til c...

  • Kapacitet - hele 6TB,     Pænt design,     Mulighed for at tage harddiskene ud,     God medfølgende software (de første 30 dage),     Mange tilslutnings muligheder,     Meget stabil,     Lavt strømforbrug,     Mulighed for RAID,
  • Intet medfølgende eSATA-kabel,     Kunne godt have USB 3.0 tilslutning,     Pris,     Medfølgende backup program udløber efter 30 dage,     Ikke gode nok hastigheder med FireWire og USB 2.0, SCORE 75, Western Digital My Book Studio Edition II Jacob Cz

  • Abstract:  從外觀看起質感相當優良,雖然外殼為塑膠材質,卻輕易表現出鋁質外殼的質感,放在電腦桌前一點也不顯突兀。前方有一圈發出白光的環形指示燈,能夠顯示磁碟陣列盒的使用狀態或是容量,其餘前方以及側面沒有任何裝飾 ,簡單大方。上方、後方以及下方則是幫助散熱的洞洞裝。由於內建的兩顆硬碟轉速不高只有5400轉,因此溫度並不會很高,對被動散熱以及塑膠材質外殼有疑慮的使用者可以不必擔心。 多種連接介面從後方由上至下可以看到電源鍵、兩組IEEE 1394孔、eSATA以及Mini USB。看到IEEE 1394可以得知是一款...

  • Tidak diberikan male connector untuk standar di Indonesia.
  • Sebuah alternatif untuk para pemakai Macintosh yang saat ini hanya memiliki sedikit pilihan. Walaupun sebagian besar pengguna Macintosh saat ini masih dapat memakai hard disk eksternal dengan USB 2.0, akan tetapi banyak pula para pemakai Mac yang hanya in...
