Western Digital's My Book Essential 2.0 is the latest evolution in their long history of back up devices. This 500GB drive has been outfitted with a USB 2.0 interface for high speed data transfers and near-universal compatibility. With the plug and play USB connection all you have to do is plug the drive in and it is ready to use.

A capacity gauge on the front panel lets you know how much room you have left on the drive. The rest of the housing is designed to vent heat away from the drive to keep it cool and save your data. The drive is Energy Star certified and turns itself on and off automatically with your system.
