Price and Availability

WD ShareSpace network storage systems are offered in capacities of 2 TB and 4 TB and are available now at select retailers and WD's online store (www.wdc.com). MSRP for the WD ShareSpace storage system with 2 TB is $699.99 USD; MSRP for the WD ShareSpace storage system with 4 TB is $999.99 USD.

RAID Configurations
The WD ShareSpace systems offer multiple RAID configurations for data protection and speed: RAID 0 (Striped), RAID 1 (Mirrored) and RAID 5. The RAID 5 mode, only available on the 4 TB system, is the recommended mode to achieve both high performance and data protection through redundancy.

Automatic Backup Software
Small office and home network users can use the software included with the WD ShareSpace network storage system to automatically and continuously back up their networked computers. The mirroring capability offered in RAID 1 (mirrored) and RAID 5 modes provides users the added assurance of a redundant backup of their data.

Cooler, quieter, eco-friendlier
With WD's GreenPowerTM drive technology inside, this system consumes as much as 33 percent less power than standard systems, is reliably cool and remarkably quiet.
