Summary

Your baby\'s first step, your wedding in Bali, all your important milestones…all captured in digital photos and video. What could be more important? Store them safely and keep them backed up on My Book Home Edition external hard drives. 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. Save a copy of your photos to an online sharing service, duplicate your e-mail and contacts to your iPod, and back up all your precious files to your My Book. Set it and forget it; every time you save something it\'s automatically backed up. Takes no more space than a paperback book. Collect two or more and they nest neatly together like volumes on a shelf. See at a glance how much space is available on your drive. (Works with the USB and FireWire connection only.) 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. (Works with the USB and FireWire connection only.) The My Book enclosure\'s heat dissipating design with Morse Code prevents heat buildup… a notorious data killer. How cool is that? Our environmentally-friendly drive is designed to save power by going into standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. When you\'re ready to use it, it wakes up automatically.
