Western Digital bumps My Book Studio desktop drive to USB 3.0
   




   

Western Digital today introduced a new version of its My Book Studio desktop drive for Mac OS X systems that offers USB 3.0 connectivity and as much as 4TB of storage capacity in a single drive.


Drives with USB 3.0, also known as Super-Speed USB connectivity, are coming out in droves even as computer systems with 480Mbps USB 2.0, called Hi-Speed USB connectivity, cannot take advantage of the additional I/O bandwidth.


The My Book Studio drives come pre-formatted for Mac OS X, but users can reformat them for use with Windows systems and the file allocation table (FAT) file system.

Other WD drives

In August, WD released the My Book VelociRaptor Duo desktop backup drive with 10Gbps Thunderbolt I/O connectivity and the My Passport for Mac with USB 3.0.
