Western Digital has introduced a line up of new hard drives that the guys at Phoblographer.com say will make their fellow shutterbugs happy. With fast performance times, added stability that comes from RAID options, and plenty of storage space, these external hard drives make photo storage and back-ups easy. Let’s take a peek at the new drives, one created especially for Mac users. 

WD My Book VelociRaptor Duo

With 1 TB of storage space and data transfer via Thunderbolt, the VelociRaptor lives up to its name as a mean and fast hard disk drive for a variety of mission critical applications. Use the second Thunderbolt port to daisychain multiple drives and create a RAID 0 array for added storage capacity or RAID 1 array for extra data security by mirroring data on the second drive. 

My Passport for Mac

Available in storage capacities of 500 GB, 1 TB and 2TB, the affordable My Passport for Mac uses a USB 3.0 port for faster transfer rates. Compatible with Apple Time Machine, the drive has password   protection and hardware encryption, while an add-on WD Nomad case provides protection against dirt, dust, moisture and shock, making this the perfect drive for on-the-go storage or back-ups. 

Data Recovery for Photographers

Today’s digital photographers, whether they’re shooting weddings professionally or just pictures of the kids out pumpkin picking, need portable data back-up solutions they can trust. But even drives from top hard disk manufacturers can fail.
