Creative Power for Mac.

High-speed interfaces make this an ideal solution for creative professionals and video editors.

Speed is what you need for video editing, big design projects, or managing photo shoots and that's what this drive delivers with FireWire 800 and eSATA connectivity. With our automatic backup capability your creative masterpieces will be backed up the minute you save them.

Easy to set up, easy to use - 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.

Automatic backup - Back up important projects to multiple destinations including files servers, portable drives and My Book. Synchronize project files to keep them current and secure. Set it and forget it; every time you save a change it's automatically backed up.

Powerful quad interface:

USB 2.0 -- For convenience and compatibility among multiple computers.

FireWire 400 and 800 - High-performance interfaces that are perfect for Macintosh computers.

eSATA 3 Gb/s -- The ultra-fast eSATA interface gives you speed comparable to a state-of-the-art internal hard drive.

Formatted for Macintosh - Set up with HFS+ Journaled formatting for complete Macintosh compatibility. Software included requires Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later. Can easily be reformatted for Windows 2000/XP/Vista.

Fits right in - Takes no more space than a paperback book. Collect two or more and they nest neatly together like volumes on a shelf.

Capacity gauge - See at a glance how much space is available on your drive. (Works with the USB and FireWire connection only.)

Environmentally friendly - 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, My Book wakes up automatically.

SmartPower features - This drive 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 connections only.)

Designed to keep the drive inside cool - The My Book enclosure's heat dissipating design with Morse Code prevents heat buildup - a notorious data killer. How cool is that?

Ideal for:

Adding storage to home or office computers. Perfect for data backup

Excellent, solid performer

"I was a hardcore Maxtor fan until about a year ago when the quality level, fit and finish seemed to go down a bit.

Bad Experience

"This thing was a nightmare. I needed a large drive to use as a scratch disk with my mac and Final Cut. I bought this for the Firewire capability. I will admit, when I removed it from the box, it was gorgeous. It definitely wins in the looks department and was sleek enough to compliment my Mac. That's about all the good I can say. The quick setup guide instructed me to plug in the drive and turn it on. I pl..." Read Full Review »

"I went into buying this product with almost a toss of a coin.

I was really shopping around and found WD 1TB and another competitor.

Both had very close interfaces, but what got me was the 5yr.warranty.
