Similar to the existing My Passport Studio, the new drive offers USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 connectivity in the place of USB 3.0.

In fact the new 2TB model shares the same design as the current 1TB model with the all-metal casing.

The new drive is available now for 300, about 100 more expensive than its Windows counterpart.

Discussion threads can be closed at any time at our discretion.

The drive includes dual FireWire 800 ports for Mac computers.

Like the Passport, the Studio has a slim profile, only slightly larger than the Passport at 1 inch thick, 5 inches long, and 3.3 inches wide.

However, in addition to a USB interface, it also includes dual FireWire 800 ports that can be connected to Mac computers.

Other than the increased size, this version looks the same as previous Studio drives, with a smooth metal casing that comes in precisely one color: black.

Western Digital has already released its first Thunderbolt My Book drive, so we cant help but wonder if the My Passport Studio is headed for a redesign at some point.

For now, the new drive is available for 299.99, 50 more than the comparable USB-only model.
