A 500GB external hard drive (Firewire & USB2) with pre-installed software for backing up your data, from Western Digital. Two concentric LED circles light up while it's backing up your data. Software and connection interface vary with different "editions". You can schedule backups, and a glowing capacity gauge let’s you see at a glance how much space is left on your drive. It also turns itself on and off with your computer and Safe Shutdown prevents the drive from being powered down until all your data has been written.
