For Christmas, my lovely wife bought me a Western Digital 1 TeraBtye (1TB) Pro Edition II MyBook (external hard drive). It is a dual-drive storage system with RAID and System Recovery Software. This one drive can hold more than all of the computers we own (~640GB), combined.

Here is the poop sheet:

Important: The My Book Pro Edition II hard drive ships with a HFS+ (Journaled) format. This Macintosh native format is not compatible with Windows based computers therefore the drive will need to be repartitioned and reformatted before usage in a Windows based computer.

Ever format a hard drive? Try formatting a TB… it has been a long time, and the format has only progressed to 7% complete.

What it can hold:
Up to 284,000 digital photos
Up to 250,000 songs (MP3)
Up to 24,000 songs (uncompressed CD quality)
Up to 76 hours of Digital Video (DV)
Up to 400 hours of DVD quality video
Up to 120 hours of HD video

Note: One gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes. One terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes.
