2 TB external drive now available
Distributor Drive Control Corporation (DCC) has today announced that it will be delivering Western Digital’s 2 Terabyte external My Book hardrive in June.
According to DCC this release is in response to greater demand for drive space given storage intensive video formats such as High Definition, which requires at least 8GB per hour of video according to market research group Gfk.
Vassen Naicker, WD product specialist at DCC believes that there is definitely a demand within the market for a 2TB drive. “As the volume and value of users digital content grows, backing up data on multiple CDs or DVDs becomes time consuming and inconvenient.
