Off late I've been dangerously running out of Hard Disk space. Owing to my huge collection of movies, songs, games and other stuff my 700GB was completely full. I was so cramped outta space my at one point i saw my Vista Ultimate was running with 4MB of free space on my primary drive, with no memory for visualization incase RAM is over. I decided to grab an external HDD preferably with lotsa free space, enough to accommodate all my data needs. Went to my usual electronic outlet and got myself a state of the art Western Digital 1 TB External HDD, code named: 'My Book' by WD. Costing around Rs. 7000, here's some of its features.

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. This also comes with a Flexible triple interface. 1. USB 2.0 for convenience and compatibility among multiple computers. 2. FireWire 400, which is a high-performance interface that's perfect for Macintosh® computers. 3. eSATA 3 Gb/s which is a ultra-fast interface giving you speeds comparable to a state-of-the-art internal hard drive.



The modified Capacity gauge helps you find out how much space is available on your drive although it works with the USB and FireWire connection only. One of the new features is that its much more Smart and energy efficient ie It turns itself on and off with your computer and Safe Shutdown prevents the drive from being powered down until all your data has been written.

All in all, its definitely worth the cost and the storage space. Also looks pretty cool, suiting the rest of the gadgets that you'd have on your computer table.
