Elephantine--that's the only word that I can think of to describe the newly announced Western Digital My Book Mirror Dual-Drive Storage systems: The drive is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. The new My Books feature GreenPower drives that consume approximately one-third less power than standard dual-drive external storage systems, USB 2.0 connectivity, cooling architecture (meaning no fan), and power-saving mode. It also includes automatic power-up, Safe Shutdown, and LED status and activity lights.

They also have a RAID-based protection system that automatically and continuously duplicates your data for the ultimate in data protection. If one drive in this two-drive system ever fails, the My Book Mirror Edition system continues to run and your data is safe. WD says that it's "an ideal storage solution for photographers, home users, small offices and anyone looking for extra assurance that their data is safe."

These pachyderms weigh in at a whopping 5.2 lbs, are 6.54 inches tall, 6 inches long, and 3.87 inches wide. Around the size of my college textbooks.

List price for My Book Mirror Edition with 1TB of memory is $289.99 USD; for My Book Mirror Edition with 2TB, $549.99.
