Product: Western Digital 1TB MyBook Studio Edition WDH1W10000N
Manufacturer: Western Digital
MSRP: $299.99
Lowest Historical Price: $150 [History]
Introduction
It used to be that in order to upgrade your storage capacity, you'd have to rip open your computer case and install a new hard drive. That task proved daunting for many a Geek Squad customer, causing untold amounts of cash to be blown on the simple service of installing and formatting a new hard drive. Enter external hard drives. External hard drives have exploded in popularity in the past few years because they give users an easy way to expand their storage capacity, without the headaches of a Geek Squad or FireDogs (or worse, Fry's tech) visit. Here we check out the Western Digital 1TB MyBook Studio Edition Quad-Interface Hard Drive.

Specs
What was once considered an outrageous amount of storage, 1 Terabyte, can now be bought without an outrageous amount of wallet damage. In fact, this particular drive only set me back $150 on 6/20/08 due to a particularly good deal at Frys (now expired). This drive aims to put simple USB 2.0 only drives to shame: It offers a veritable buffet of interface options including USB 2.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, and eSATA interfaces.

| It appears Western Digital 1TB MyBook USB/FW/eSATA Drive will be used for nuisance_sucks to jerk off while he is confined to living in the pink troll tent on a garbage dump. |

"without the headaches of a Geek Squad or FireDogs (or worse, Fry's tech) visit"
IMO, Fry's techs are way better than the Geek Squad or FireDog "techs". |

| ga - it's an external. you just connect it to your pc with a cable so it can transfer data to and from it. no need to open up your computer. |
