Data recovery is a computing term that is used to describe a situation where data stored on a desktop computer or a laptop is lost. In this scenario, data recovery measures would be taken to restore the data. There are many reasons why data can be lost and many different ways that it can be restored.

One of the most common reasons for data loss is human error. A user may, for example, delete a file from their computer by mistake and may need to use data recovery solutions or tools to get it back. In this instance the user could use the Recycle Bin facility or, if that doesn't work, use specialist software or a data recovery expert to find the file on their system and to restore it.

Data is sometimes also lost by overenthusiastic computer buffs who mess around with their system to try and make it run better. Playing with partitions, for example, can result in data loss -- there are specific programs that can help restore data if this happens. Sometimes, it is simple to click on the wrong button when you are working on your computer and to see data loss as a result because you inadvertently mess with the system itself. Again, there are a variety of programs that could offer a solution here.

Another common reason for data loss is physical damage to your computer or to one of its parts. If you accidentally drop your computer case then you could damage some of the delicate parts that make your system work. The damage here could well result in data loss. This kind of damage is usually best handled by a data recovery specialist unless you have the technical skills yourself.

Viruses and other forms of malware can also cause data loss problems when files are corrupted as can software bugs. The solution here is often to simply run your anti virus program or to install one if you haven't got round to it! The anti virus software will source the virus and get rid of it from which point you shouldn't have the corruption problem.

It is also possible to need to recover data from a variety of computer peripherals such as portable storage media such as disks and drives. The solution to problems here will depend on the damage/cause of the data loss. Sometimes, a simple software fix will help you restore your data here and sometimes you will need expert help.

Don't think that you will never need data recovery yourself. It is easy to believe that this kind of thing only happens to people who are careless or who do not take good care of their equipment but this is not necessarily the case. Computers are made of various key components which can sometimes simply fail without warning.

These kinds of mechanical failures often bring with them data loss of some kind. In some cases you may lose files and in others you may not be able to use your operating system at all. There are various fixes here most of which are best carried out by an experienced computer technician/data recovery expert.

The trend that the Apple company set for their packages is redefined with every new appearance of a product. Actually, the permanent search in finding the right package and aesthetics and adapting the box to both the product and the customers` needs is focused on discovering a more compact way of packaging and, at the same time, with an expressive, yet subtle artistic touch. Due to the characteristics of the product, the packaging of the video iPod tries to be both practical and aesthetic, in order to symbolize somehow the visual characteristics and calibre of the new product.

The original package of the iPod was a 6" cube box. The box was supposed to be removed out of the sleeve, after which, it was unfolded as a flower. The first iPod package reflected the image that the company was trying to promote: exuberant style, expressive elements, brisk and intense colors and sounds. After the appearance of the next types of iPods, this image of the product changed into a more mature one, an image which was expressed through the campaigns, the package and the general design of the product.

The main color of the iPod video is plain black, which is rather risky, yet original, considering the fact that the main aspect that the device has is the video, meaning colors, motion and diversion. Still, there are various silver accents on the box, which represent the Apple logo and text. Still, the color of the box fits with the colors of the actual iPods: black and white, just like the iPod nano. By choosing these colors and this style of packaging, Apple wanted to create a more sophisticated and stylish look of the new product; together with this, the ads for the product changed to a more series and mature tone.

The shape of the box differs, as well, from the first flower-like box of the first generation of iPods: this iPod`s video box is rather flat and square, more stylish and more serious looking. Actually, this box works as a sleeve, as well, with one open end, similar to a DVD box set, but it also contains another inner box, which is very well fixed inside. The inner box opens in 2 distinctive parts: one part contains the iPod device and the other contains a monolith.

The package lacks a manual guide (still, it has a small Quick Start Guide); instead, it has a CD which contains all the needed usage instructions of the iPod video. Besides these, the box contains a relevant and think copyright statement and a protective sleeve for the actual iPod. The CD which contains the instructions displays an appropriate PDF file that suits any computer, using the languages English, French, German, Japanese and Chinese.

The new product iPod video has, besides various improvements in the technical department (among which, the video feature is the most relevant one), another package, another image and way of presentation. The new package manages to remain practical, yet it becomes safer. Besides these, the new package offers a more sophisticated and elitist image of the product, concentrating on refined touches and neutral colors.

You might have heard that it's possible to perform a reverse phone number search to find the owner of a telephone number. If you need to know this kind of information, a service like this can be a real help. This inexpensive, simple tool can help you the information you need to investigate prank callers, avoid fraud, find out if someone is cheating on you, check out numbers on your child's phone that you don't recognize and keep your loved ones safe. No matter why you need to find out about the person who owns a given phone number, reverse phone number search services are a reliable, cost effective way to do it.

It's simple to do, as well. You just enter the phone number into the search field and request information. A database search begins, and within a few minutes, you'll know what information, if any, is available on that phone. This includes where it's located and whether or not you can get a full report. You'll then be asked to pay for the search, and receive all the information you need about that phone's owner.

Performing a reverse phone number search is really quite inexpensive, especially if you know how to do it. If you don't need to search more than a few times in a given year, you'll probably want to pay by the search instead of getting a membership. Usually, a good report can be obtained for fifteen to twenty dollars per search, though prices will vary by company. However, you can also sign up with companies that offer annual memberships. This way, you have unlimited options for reverse phone number searches, and it costs as little as forty dollars per year.

Wondering whether or not you can avoid paying and find the same information for free? In most cases you can't, but if you're looking up a particular type of number and have a lot of time, you might get lucky. Land line numbers are occasionally available in search directories, but only when they're listed. Unlisted numbers can't be found, and neither can cell phone numbers. Sometimes, you can get a little bit of information by entering the telephone number into a Google search. However, this takes a while and you have to be lucky. If the person who owns the number has posted it on a web page somewhere, you may find out more. However, most people keep that information private.

Generally, you'll find that it's worth it to pay for a reverse phone number search. It gives you the ability to know you've got the information you need, and that you can handle just about any problem that needs that information. Reverse phone number search services are quick and accurate. You won't have to waste your time on a fruitless search - do it the smart way and use a reverse phone number search service.

Flying an airplane is relatively simple, keep it flying straight and level and you're fine. Landing an airplane is a bit more complicated and requires a few more hours of training. Another item that's going to take a lot of hours of work to master is navigation. GPS has simplified this to some degree, but it's still a fine art you'll want to know as a pilot. If you can't navigate properly, you may find yourself flying into an area you're not supposed to fly into.

Every student pilot is required to learn how to use one of the most basic tools of navigation, the VOR system. I've never been in an aircraft that didn't have a VOR and I've used them almost every time, even it was just for fun in conjunction with the GPS. VOR's utilize something called "radials" to tell you were you are. Radials are send out as radio signals from the VOR in every possible direction. Regardless of what direction you're flying in from, you can pick up on a VOR radial.

The VOR signals transmit at a very high frequency and are limited to line of sight. That means, if you have a mountain between you and the VOR station, you may not get a good signal. This will sometimes require you to climb to a higher altitude to intercept the transmission. If there's a none interference area, you'll usually see this listed in the Airport/Facility Directory.

There are actually three different types of VOR stations depending on your location and where you're flying. The first one is the Terminal VOR or TVOR and should only be used when you're within 25 nautical miles of the transmitting station and below 1000' above ground level (AGL). The low altitude VOR is designed to be used accurately within 40 nautical miles and between 1000' and 18,000' AGL. The last is the HVOR or high altitude VOR. It's accurate at various altitudes and, depending on topography, up to 130 nautical miles.

Now that you know how the signal is transmitted, how is it received in your aircraft? In order to use this information your plane is going to need an antenna, a receiver and the VOR indicator on your control panel. The same radio you use to talk to the air traffic controllers will pick up a signal from the VOR station. If you switch over to this signal, you'll hear a Morse code being transmitted which should match the identifier listed on your sectional. It's very important for you to verify the identity of the VOR station before you start using it for navigation.

You may be wondering why you need these systems when you have a fancy new GPS system on board. Well, it's always important to rely on more than one system when you're flying. If you have a GPS, back it up with the VOR. GPS systems are not flawless, nor are VOR's. Always have a back up plane. I would even suggest taking your GPS and turning it off once in a while to make sure you can navigate without it.

The Internet has brought a whole new meaning to business and more particularly marketing. Having access to millions of people helped to leverage businesses to new levels, as well as create entirely new forms of online business.

But as technology evolves, the way we do business also has to change. Otherwise we are doomed to fail. As one of the biggest changes in the evolution of the Internet are social networks. The way people interact online has changed, and we know see the Internet not only as a information medium but as a community of people.

Relationship with the customers is not a new concept in business. In order to dominate in their markets businesses have learned to listen to their customers and fulfill their needs. But that's process is difficult and expensive with the old methods. These methods are slow and expensive. That's why every business has always sought how to improve that and get better results with less investments.

The Internet as medium has improved communication process dramatically. However, they were essentially the same and their effectiveness has decreased as they have become cheaper. Social marketing, however, has brought them to a whole new level.

These networks engage users to the communication between each other and between your business. It can be compared to a party of friends, and that's essentially different from the conventional communication methods. Such communities are every marketers dream because they are more willing to buy, they are more trusting. They give you a hungry and active crowd that tells you what they want and you can address their needs at laser targeted precision.

However there are obstacles to overcome. Finding and building a community is a difficult process. These communities often already exist in the big networks, but to access them you have not only to gain their trust, but to work under the strict rules.

The Dell 1700n makes for a good printer. It combines a low price, is ready to be networked, looks good in the office and is easy to install. It gives you just about everything you need for a Windows-based small office network or personal-size printer. There are also other Dell printers available for high-output operations, so shop wisely. The Dell 1700n toner cartridge is easy to find and use, too.

Things to Remember. This is a printer made mostly for home or small office use, but it's also able to handle nice volumes of work usually only seen in printers a bit more expensive. It can print over 15,000 pages in a month, in fact, before it would need service or replacement of its imaging drum. Graphics aren't world-class, but for a printer of this cost, they're more than adequate. You might want to consider higher-line machines if you need detailed, graphics-rich printing found in letters and such.

Specifications. Weighing less than 27 pounds, the Dell is easily movable, and at a bit more than 1 foot deep by 1 foot wide by 10 inches high, it won't take up too much space. It also has a single 10/100 Ethernet jack and USB 2.0 ports for ease of use. There are even parallel ports, which are increasingly rare these days. All of these ports are located at the rear of the printer, by the way. As with most of these machines, you can feed in paper manually or within the feeder tray. It holds about 250 pieces, and capacity can be expanded for a small price.

Costs of Ownership. The Dell uses a standard toner cartridge (1700n) which sits above an imaging drum. Each cartridge is good for thousands of pages (about 3,000), which should be more than sufficient for any home-based business or small network in an office. There are also higher output cartridges, again for additional cost.

Capabilities. The Dell 1700n is capable of about 32 megabytes of storage, which is more than enough for most home business applications. If you need more memory, it's expandable to 160 megs. There are also interior slots for added DRAM, which is very inexpensive these days. It's also compatible with Windows 98 or higher computers through either its modern USB 2.0 ports or the last-generation parallel ports in the back. It'll also email you if it starts running low on toner.

Quality of the Print Job. With available 1200dpi capability, most documents will come out looking clean and crisp. If you have double-side or more complicated printing to be done, there are easy-to-follow menus on the unit itself. If you need documents watermarked, the 1700n can do that as well.

Dell 1700n Laser Toner. Dell makes getting new laser toner easy and pain-free through its online order system. Cartridges are also sold by aftermarket companies, too. It comes with a one-year 24/7 service plan that can be increased up to 5 years if you'd like. That's extra cost, but some people want it. Also, those cartridges aren't too expensive, for the most part.

What is it about the apple ipod that inspires near fanatical obsession from its band of followers and a loyalty that few other digital devices enjoy? Why do people feel the need to instantly upgrade as soon as the latest player comes out?

In fact, the iPod has established itself so well in the minds of consumers that very few people actually know that it is possible to buy an mp3 player which is not an iPod. Check out the following traits of the iPod to see what made it the "most wanted product" of the decade:

Firstly, the iPod was the first ever handheld device to store over a gigabyte of data. This was a massive leap in technology from its predecessors.

The devices at the time which were circulating in the market were really nerdy looking, which was the main reason why the iPod's glossy and sleek design with its modern LCD screen made it a huge success.

The flash based players such as the Nano were a big hit with joggers and other sports people as it didn't skip like hard-disk mp3 players.

Itunes was a massive success for Apple as it allowed people to download songs at realistic prices in a safe and legal setting.

The arrival of the iPod beckoned a new era for party goers and those leading an active life. Carrying so much music about your person was previously unachievable.

The iPod's interface is extremely user-friendly. Further the scroll wheel enhances the entire music experience with the iPod as you can find the song you are searching for in a matter of seconds.

Apple is constantly improving its product. In only a few short years it has developed from the lowly mp3 player into one of the world's leading video players and phone system.

You're also able to download applications to further enhance your device from online games to tax assistance software.

Everyone has to admit that the iPod's sound quality is supreme and unmatchable when compared to those of other devices. The levels of bass provided by the iPod are really ear-blowing!

You can further increase your listening pleasure through the uses of separate plug and play speakers or in car audio.

The battery life of the solid state mp3 players is very good. The Nano can last up to 7 hours between charges.

Express yourself with funky covers for your iPod! You can even get posh with fur covers to really stand out from the crowd.

There are plenty of recurring updates provided by Apple for the device's software and iTunes too. This will help keep you updated with the latest in firmware for the player. This rarely happens with plenty of other market competitors.

The device is also a lot sturdier than the challenging brands. It's well capable of surviving unplanned bumps and knocks.

As you can see theres alot to adore about the hit mp3 player from California and hopefully Apple will have a few more ideas up their sleeve for a long time.

Most people prize their Internet access, as well as how they get it. Instead of using a traditional router, many people find a wireless router to be more efficient. While it runs the nearly the same as a regular router, it does not have any wires.

The primary distinction between traditional routers and wireless routers is the, well, lack of wires. The best part is that the majority of modern computers can work with wireless routers seamlessly.

Although not all computers can link with a wireless router easily, there is a solution. A wireless device can be installed, sometimes in the form of a USB drive, which enables connections.

Wireless routers can still function in a regularly wired environment. The only thing necessary to connect nodes to the router is to set them to the same channel, or band. Whether you are using a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, a wireless router will work in any situation.

While many people only think of computers when it comes to networks, other devices can be utilized as well. For example, printers can be used in a network so you can print documents anywhere.

Just like a traditional router, a wireless router must be connected to a modem. In most wireless routers, this is the only place where a cord is necessary.

Routers greatly simplify the process of connecting to a network. While most people technically don't need a router, there is no question that they are helpful. They enable one to easily connect multiple computers while maintaining speed.

Having a basic router is enough for most people. As long as you can connect to networks without any hassle, a cheap router is fine.

Warning signs of a breakup often slip by unnoticed when we are just not looking for them. This often means complete shock by one partner when the other tries to end the relationship. The list that follows details the top 9 signs that a relationship is in trouble. This article also suggests what you can do about it.

The 9 red hot signs that your relationship may be in trouble are:

1. Is you partner suddenly away at strange times and working longer or more irregular hours than they used to, with no real reason behind this change?

2. Do they keep forgetting to do the things they promised to do for you or plans they have made with you, where in the beginning they would have moved the earth for you?

3. Have they missed a special date, anniversary or birthday. (Definitely one of the most telling warning signs of a break up if they have usually always remembered and been most attentive)

4. Is it difficult to have a deep or meaningful conversation with your partner lately. Do they seem continually distracted, sulky or even uncommunicative?

5. (Also one of the most telling warning signs of a break up ) Have the levels of affection and openness in how they show affection changed? Are you getting less hugs and kisses? Have they stopped holding your hand in public?

6. Has your partner become disinterested in your plans or whats happening in your life?

7. Have you detected lies and untruths in your relationship, especially over little things that would not have been an issue before? Do you still trust your partner?

8. Have they become secretive about their email, phone calls or text messages?

9. Do you find yourselves arguing and disagreeing more than usual.(Not the usual misunderstandings a relationship is bound to have, more a real change in the number and frequency of disagreements)

Although one or two of these changes alone may not mean your relationship has a problem, three or more certainly indicate that something is definitely wrong. What do you do once you realise this and want to take steps to save your relationship?

If you have decided that your relationship is worth saving, the answer is there is absolutely an incredible amount of action you can take to stop a break up. The very best advice about this comes from the incredibly successful relationship mending program known as the Magic of Making Up.

The first thing you should do is assess how bad your problem is and whether you are technically capable of handling a complex software solution yourself. If your computer has died completely then a software program that boots it into a DOS mode, for example, may be able to sort the problem out.

But, if you are not confident doing this yourself then you should probably pass your computer over to a computer specialist to have them retrieve your data and sort out your system. Using these kinds of programs when you do not understand what you doing can cause even more damage and give you a decreased chance of getting your data back.

In many cases, however, you will need to use a data recovery software program to simply find files that you have accidentally deleted or lost on your system following a virus or other problem. File deletion on standard computer systems doesn't actually remove the file from your system. In basic terms the file still exists but you won't be able to find it as its links will have been taken away when you deleted it.

So, software programs that help with this kind of data recovery may be an option for you to use yourself. If this is the case then you need to work out what kind of files you need to retrieve. Some programs will help you out with different kinds of files but many nowadays will specialize in specific types of file data recovery.

So, for example, you could try out a program that helps you restore files or one that is designed to help you find deleted emails. Other popular programs here include ones that are specifically designed to help you find photos and other kinds of media files that you may have inadvertently lost.

The best way to find the right program to suit you is to look at consumer reviews wherever possible. This will give you an indication of issues such as how easy the software is to use and how it has worked for other people. It's always best to do this before you buy any kind of software program as it gives you a more realistic view of its advantages and disadvantages.

Finally, before you start using your data recovery software do make sure to read through the instructions/getting started section real well. This will ensure that you do not make any further mistakes and will give you the best chance of getting your files back. If all else fails you can always get a data recovery specialist to look at your problem to see if they can be of any help.

I can remember how large the first cell phones were; people thought they would not catch on especially because they were so costly and although functions have increased, it is still possible to find a cheap cellular phone if you look carefully. Cell phones have now become a very essential tool for everyone including parents who want to know where their kids are at any time.

Although they can be an indispensable part of a business, even teenagers have high tech models rivaling anything a busy business executive may use. For a long time it was looked upon as a costly toy for adults and although they still have that element to them, they certainly aren't a toy. Although the basic cell phone is not as common as it once was it is still possible to buy them.

They may be extremely clever but I have only ever wanted a phone that made a call and could send a text message, perhaps you are the same and all you want is a cheap cellular phone like me. As long as you know the limitations it will have, you won't be disappointed. Merely being able to send and receive calls may be enough for you and all that you expect from it.

Basic facilities may be standard on cheap cellular phones but they will almost certainly be better equipped than a top-range model of five years ago, such is the speed of technological advancement. The most important thing to check with a basic cell phone is whether or not you will get a strong signal because if this is the only reason you need it for, it is also the most important.

You will probably find you will be able to send and receive text message but will not come equipped with all the new SMS functions. The text messaging function on the more modern, even if it is a bottom of the range phone, will be more than adequate for the average persons needs.

However, the likes of sending and receiving emails may not be possible and when you think about it how often would you use it anyway? If this is a function you need to have, it will probably be worth your while reconsidering as a cheap cellular phone will not be the type you require.

From time to time, you will see really good cell phone plan deal advertised, so why not wait for one of these and get a more expensive phone as part of the package. This is a viable option as cell phone plan deals happen all the time, especially when they want to make room for the latest models. This could be a good thing for you and it means all that searching and researching won't have to be carried out.

Whatever you decide to do, never forget that the secret to almost anything you do is getting the research right as it can save you a fortune or mean that you can work within a budget that you set for yourself.

The UK telecoms giant BT is selling of capped calls as a part of its business strategy- but are 'capped calls' really offering good value to the customer? I made it my task to find out:

Call rates are unusually tricky to find on websites, BT's own website proved awkward to say the least with over 50 long lists to look through I wouldn't be surprised if many new customers give up the search - or maybe thats the intention? Calling telecoms companies proved a bit more fruitfull athough overwhelming with the variety of products that seemed to offer good rates on one hand and take away with long contract obligations with the other.

I also needed to establish the average length of a business call. Luckily for me Telecost performed this task a few years ago by analysing 2 million call records (2278614 to be precise) of 100 different companies in different parts of the UK. There was a wide range of company types in the study including high volume users such as: recruitment agencies, debt collection and media companies. It is of course difficult to know how representative the sample is however I don't expect BT will dish this information willingly. Results below:

Average length of call to mobile (07 numbers) - 110 seconds.

Average length of call to landline (01 numbers) - 112 seconds.

Average length of landline call (02 numbers) - 121 seconds.

Assuming that the average call length therefore is 2 minutes:

A 2 Minute call at BT standard rate to mobile would cost 45p and to landline would cost 15p (inc call setup fee).

A 2 Minute call with BT's 'Business Plan' to mobile would cost 25p (capped) and to landline would cost 8p on a 1 year contract.

A 2 Minute call with BT's Oneplan to mobile would cost 20p (capped) and to landline would cost 5p (capped) on a 2 year contract with 2 additional BT services required.

A 2 minute call using Westlake LCR to mobile is 18p and to landline 2.5p on a one year contract.

A 2 minute mobile call using Midland LCR to mobile is 16p and a 2 minute landline call is 1.8p on a 1 year contract with a minimum call spend requirement.

A 2 minute call using Gradwell VOIP to mobile would cost 20p and a 2 minute call to landline would be free(subject to acceptable usage otherwise would cost 2.5p) on a 3 month contract.

The conclusion, based on the information above being correct therefore is:- if you run an 'average' business then you are better off with LCR or VOIP. If your bunsiness makes longer than average phonecalls then you are better off staying with BT, although...

To benefit from maximum call savings customers should consider using voip phone systems such as Asterisk which will can be programmed to take the most efficient route. For example: - you can route all national calls through VOIP hence take advantage of free calls and unlimited outbound trunks and make savings on your line rentals, you can route mobile calls through GSM - hence achieve free calls to staff mobiles & mobile tarifs of 1.45p 4.5p - use BT Oneplan to route long calls.

This article is merely a guide to help UK businesses make up their own minds - the call rates were obtained in Sept 08 hence may or may not be accurate at the time of reading.

You need to look out for business when business works online. There are generally a different set of rules on the web and, for the most part, the stakes are a lot higher in the www. world of business.

Once you understand that reality, youll see that you need someone in your corner on the web, that going it alone is really a shaky proposition that can cause you more trouble than its worth. You need data security experts that know what theyre doing. You need data protection experts that have a good reputation and the kind of customer loyalty that tell you right away that they know all about what theyre doing .

Theres a checklist. And here are some of the bigger points on it.

Reputation. If the place that youre looking at his a great affiliate program, chances are theyve been able to impress and are doing at least some things right. Take a look at their site and ask around. The word on good reputations travels too.

Online Backup Software. This is absolutely critical. Remember that you would never even think about buying a car without checking under the hood. Well, thats the same for any online backup services that you might want to use. You need to look for several features that make the software great, and one of these is the right Remote File Access.

The software is extremely important and thats just why you need to understand what youre looking at. The better the software the better you chances of being able to get all of your information back after some kind of serious breech.

And the best in Remote File Access is an important part of that. This is the feature that allows you to get the information that youve lost back as long as you try from a computer with Internet access. Of course there are other options that youll want to have like fast efficient backups and an easy system restore feature. Remember that the online backup software is a lot like the engine that drives your data security. Without the right kind, you can lose all of your mission critical data for good.

External data storage has become more secure with Western Digital's release of the My Book Mirror Edition. These new drives allow users to set up RAID 1 or RAID 0 providing them with fully secure backups of their data. Whether you need external storage for business or personal uses, the My Book Mirror Editions are a great solution.

The My Book Mirror Editions currently are available in two sizes - 1-terabyte and 2-terabyte. As with other My Book drives, these do not come at a small MSRP. MSRP on these units are $289 - $549 dependent on the size you get. Keep in mind, these are suggested retail prices; the units can be found for much less.

The My Book Mirror Edition measures 6.54-inches x 6.06-inches x 3.87-inches and weighs around 5 pounds. This, in concatenation with its polished black exterior and book shape, makes the unit presentable in any atmosphere. Additionally, there is a blue LED light, on the front face of the box, which lets users know the status of the My Book, with a simple glance.

Users have the option of setting up RAID 1 or 0 on the Mirror Editions. For a truly mirrored device, you would use RAID 1. This gives users access to half of the storage space indicated on the unit. The other half is used for a replica of your data. RAID 0 enable users to store data on the entire storage space, but lessens the amount of security as the data is not replicated on the second drive.

The Drive Manager is accessible via a small icon in the system tray. Simply glancing at the icon gives users instant access to the units' capacity, status, and temperature. It also gives users overall RAID health. Users can also change RAID configurations through this tool; however, changing RAID configurations from 1 to 0 (or vice versa) will wipe all data on the drive.

You can even connect to your My Book Mirror Edition while you are traveling and away from home; WD MioNet makes this possible. There are other applications available on the unit such as WD Anywhere Backup, 30-day trial of Memeo Autosync, Google, Desktop Search, and Picasa.

The user interface and navigation make this unit configurable and usable by user of any level, meaning you do not have to be technically inclined to get this unit working and keep it maintained. Installing new software, moving files, and setting up initial configurations are as simple as following a systematic wizard.

The My Book Mirror Editions come with two hard drives; each of which are easily removed and replaced if necessary. These devices use USB connectivity only; there are no FireWire or eSATA connection ports.

If you are looking for an external drive for data storage or backup purpose, Western Digitals' My Book Mirror Editions are of great quality. While a little on the pricey side, they are backed by an exceptional manufacturer. With options of 1TB and 2TB, they are the perfect size for either business or personal use.
