Son of a motherless goat, that’s a lot of storage. You can pick up the two-terabyte Western Digital My Book from Newegg.com for $369.99, which includes free shipping. It packs two one-terabyte drives and can be used in a RAID 0 or RAID 1 array. It also has USB 2.0 and FireWire connections, a 7200RPM spindle speed, and 16MB cache.

I owned the 1 TB edition as a backup for my video production company. Turned the drive on 1 day every week for three months, then the drive failed. Lost 987 GB of data which will cost me $2, 234.00 to recover. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this drive. Go to NewEgg.com and look at the reviews of the 1 TB drive, then you will see…wow its shiny, and large, but their failure rates are 26% that means for every 100 drives they sell 26 will fail. Would you like to lose 2 TB of music, video, your kids pictures?
DONT BUY THIS DRIVE

Yeah, bummer.
I worry about my back up drives failing.
I have back-ups for my back-ups.
I haven’t gotten’ to the point of backing up my back-ups back-up.

Good.
Hopefully this might mean the prices are going to drop on the 500 gig and 1 tb models.
I’m hoping for $60 and $110.
Right now they are about $99 and $180.

agree with g2 - i had a mybook fail on me bigtime, man that sucked. My WD track record was flawless before that too.
