Capacity gauge - See at a glance how much space is available on your storage system. (Works with the USB connection only)

Intelligent drive management features - The My Book external drive turns itself on and off with your computer and Safe Shutdown™ prevents the drive from being powered down until all your data has been written. (Works with the USB connection only.)

Smart design - The 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.
