powerful EMC Retrospect Express backup and recovery software, a unique
Capacity Gauge LED, and capacities up to 750 GB. The extremely easy-to-use,

from the drive. It’s the perfect storage solution for professional audio and video
editing, high-end photography, graphic design, and ultra fast system backup.

you need to back up and restore a single file or your entire system in a few simple steps.
Capacity gauge — See at a glance how much space is available on your drive.
Intelligent drive management — SmartPower™automatic power on/off, Safe
Shutdown™, and LED activity lights make this drive especially easy to use.
Smart design — The compact elegant case, iconic of a book, takes up less space on
your desk, stacks horizontally, and allows two or more drives to nestle neatly together
like volumes on a shelf.
High quality hard drive — Inside the case is an exceptionally fast, ultra quiet,
cool-running hard drive from WD, of course!
