Western Digital announced a new dual-drive external storage system, the My Book Studio Edition II, featuring a lower power consumption. This drive consumes approximately one-third less power than standard dual-drive storage systems and comes already formatted for Mac computers (btw, it is also possible to format it for PC with the provided software).

The My Book Studio Edition II has wide connection capabilities thanks to the four different interfaces included (FireWire 400/800, eSATA, USB 2.0) and allows to build both a RAID 0 and RAID 1 system.

As expected, prices are not exactly user-friendly... MSRP for the 1 TB version is $349.99 USD, and $599.99 USD for the 2 TB version.
