Wd my book2 studio edition 2tb

It also came with a CD of software, and some simple documentation. The software is needed for both Windows and Mac. So here it is out of the wrapping. The entire enclosure is plastic with a painted silver finish that somewhat matches the aluminum appearance of the iMac. The power adaptor is small and the cable is about 4 feet long.

It was nice that it came with the cable I need. So here it is connected to my iMac. The white LED indicators at the front is a nice touch. It is also an indicator of how full the drives are. The WD Drive Manager allows you to configure the device. The only configure for this device is just the RAID level.

You never know these days about drive reliability and my data can definitely use a bit more fault tolerance.

Someone did a video of the deboxing of the same drive on YouTube. Towards the end of the video, he opened it up and showed us what it looks like inside and how to take the drives out in case you have to replace them. And finally, compared to a file share on the Windows Home Server connected via a 1Gb Ethernet connection. With this additional hard drive, I will not be running out or drive space for a while. Also because of the RAID 1 configuration, I would be less likely to loose my files from hardware problems.

Is this compatible for Windows OS too? Make sure you download the latest version of WD Drive Manager from here. Support Downloads Knowledge Base. German Spanish Italian French. HGST Support. So my question how can i get the eSATA working? Unless someone from WD comfirms otherwise. How do I un-install WD drive manager completely? Yes, installing the WD turbo driver will speed up by not much.

If you are happy with what you see, just do not install it. You are right. You can not uninstall the WD drive manager. It is built into the the drive firmware. You can not remove the RAID configure. By power cycle and unplug the data cable from the drive. Then re-plug it to the computer, and wait for the WD drive manager screen to popup.
