Western Digital has unveiled a new external drive that has a customizable e-label that displays what is on the drive and how much space is left.

Click to enlarge<\/FONT><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE>The e-label smart display on the spine of the My Book drives can be changed easily and as often as desired as it utilises e-paper technology which reads like ink on paper. <\/P>

The e-label also shows available capacity and whether the drive is locked via WD SmartWare software’s powerful password protection and hardware-based encryption. <\/P>

The new My Book Elite drives also come with integrated WD SmartWare software that launches automatically, and feature user-selected password protection combined with 256-bit hardware-based encryption. <\/P>

WD’s Vice President of Marketing for Branded Products Group, Dale Pistilli said, “The new My Book Elite drives’ unique new e-label smart display and integrated WD SmartWare software give consumers an elegant and practical way to organize their content while enjoying the peace of mind that their data is backed up and secure.” <\/P>

“Even when the My Book Elite drive is unplugged, consumers can easily see at-a-glance what is stored on their drive, how much capacity is available and whether the drive is locked,” added Pistilli.<\/P>

The Western Digital My Book Elite is available now for $199.99 (1TB), $249.99 (1.5TB), and $399.99 (2TB). <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
