Product Features
Easy to set up, easy to use -
Installation is a snap because you don't really install this drive, you just plug it in and it's ready to use. There is no CD to install; the included software loads from the drive the first time you plug it in.
Automatic backup -
Save a copy of your photos to an online sharing service, duplicate your e-mail and contacts to your iPod®, and back up all your precious files to your My Book. Set it and forget it; every time you save something it's automatically backed up.
Flexible triple interface -
USB 2.0 -- For convenience and compatibility among multiple computers.
FireWire 400 –- A high-performance interface that's perfect for Macintosh® computers.
eSATA 3 Gb/s -- The ultra-fast eSATA interface gives you speed comparable to a state-of-the-art internal hard drive.
Fits right in -
Takes no more space than a paperback book. Collect two or more and they nest neatly together like volumes on a shelf.
Capacity gauge -
