Bloated, but in a good way :) Western Digital’s My Book Studio Edition, My Book Mac Edition, My Book Home Edition and My Book Essential Edition models are all now available in 2 TB capacities. They aren’t using two 1 TB drives, they are using one 2 TB drive. Wowza. That’s a lot of bytes!

I wonder if these new MY Books still roar like lions while running.

2Jake: knowing hard-drive manufacturers, I think they means 2,000,000,000,000 bytes, which comes out to about 1.82TB :-(
