I currently have a 2 TB My Book Essential… and it’s starting to get full…

so i was looking for a 4 TB or larger My Book Essential, but the largest i could find was 3 TB…

i don’t want anything bigger in size than My Book Essential…

So, do you know, or have any idea, when a 4 TB or larger My Book Essential will be released?

The alternative is looking at the RAID drives for Mac like My Book Studio II. To get the 4T you would need to run as RAID 0 . The 2 drives are then seen as one. There is no redundant copy that way. If one drive goes bad you loose everything. In RAID 1 if one drive goes bad there should be a copy on the other drive.

I’m looking for the same thing. I have four of the 2T My Book Essential disks and I’ll buy four new ones if they are 4T or larger. I don’t want the dual-disk solution since it is way too expensive and bulky. The 3T disks are too small. It’s been 18 months since there has been a rev. WD had a good thing going. Hopefully they’ll get moving. And if not WD, then hopefully someone else will and I can buy from them instead.
