WD® has redesigned its popular My Book® and My Book for Mac lines of external desktop drives to provide as much as 4 TB storage capacity and enhanced data protection for those who create and collect large volumes of data, video, music and photos. With USB 3.0 for speed, the new My Book lines are available in 2 TB, 3 TB and 4 TB capacities for the largest content collections. At any point in time, anything can happen to one’s data. Whether it’s a lost notebook or destructive virus, it’s critical to keep data safe and maintain a backup of important documents and valued content.
 
Meh Seagate are releasing 6TB HDDs soon, and the prices of the My Book are stupidly high.
 
Funny, the single most common computer storage issue that I see is an external drive containing "critical files" like the only family photos fail.

The usual reason is a disconnection while files are still writing. People actually seem to trust external drives too much until after a disaster. Oh well, it pays the bills. ;)
