Today, Western Digital announced a new version of its My Book World Edition. Featuring sizes of 1TB and 2TB, these My Books are ready to be plugged directly into your router. With the click of a few buttons, the storage device can then be configured. As always, it comes with bundled backup-software that can be installed on your Mac or your PC. Given the good experience we have with our Western Digital drives, we have high hopes for this one.
