WD's Line of Backup Devices Protect Your Digital Content

Cameras, camcorders, MP3 players and other electronics will likely be on the wish list of many people this holiday season. But have you thought about how you're going to protect the digital assets created from these devices? Western Digital has a complete line of backup devices that protect all of your music and memories -- with many priced under $100.

For those on the go:

WD's My Passport line of portable drives are not much bigger than the size of a passport, and are available in a variety of colors and capacities ranging from 320 GB to 1 TB. The drives quickly connect to a laptop, desktop or any media player with a USB port for instant viewing of your favorite movies, photos, or playback of all your music.

For the business professional:

WD has several ways to backup and protect those important files. WD's My Book line of external desktop drives backup and protect files located on your computer and the new WD SmartWare software makes it easy to confirm that your data has been copied to the external drive.

WD offers several external drives in the line including their My Book Essential, My Book Elite, My Book for Mac, and My Book Studio models with capacities from 500GB to 2 TB of storage.

The My Book Mirror (up to 2 TB) and My Book Studio II Edition (up to 4 TB) desktop storage systems also provide a RAID feature that allows a second copy of your files to be copied on a second internal drive for even more protection.

For the family:

WD's line of network storage drives will store everyone's digital content on a single drive that can be accessed from any computer from anywhere in the house. And every time content is added to any computer in the network, it is automatically backed-up to the network drive.

Also, content located on the network drive can be streamed onto the big screen for viewing through a digital media adapter like WD TV Live HD media player (more info below) or a game console such as the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3.

My Book World Edition, My Book World Edition II, and WD ShareSpace are network storage drives with capacities ranging from 2 TB to 8 TB.

The WD TV Live player is a media playback device that attaches to your TV and plays back videos and photos content in 1080p HD video quality. WD TV Live player will also access any content on your home network drive, giving you access to all your digital content for viewing on the big screen. WD TV Live player also has direct access to online content sharing sites such as YouTube, Flickr, Live 365 and Pandora.
