Drive My Book World de 2TB da Western Digital só usa um disco de 2TB

A Western Digital já fez antes drives externos de 2TB, mas esta é a primeira vez que eles fazem isso com um único disco de 2TB.

Ao usar um disco de 2TB em vez de, digamos, dois discos de 1TB, os drives ocupam menos espaço no seu desktop e são em geral mais simples (um em vez de dois). Estes drives chegarão para as edições My Book Studio, My Book Mac, My Book Home e My Book Essential da linha da Western Digital. Leia o press release a seguir:
