Designed specifically for Macs, the new My Book Studio features FireWire 800/400 and USB 2.0 connections.
The lack of USB 3.0 is generally attributed to the fact that Macs don’t support this higher-speed USB standard.

The new offering is the single volume drive, which is not to be confused with the company’s dual-volume drive of a similar name, which delivers up to 6TB of storage.
