It’s clear to me Western Digital will begin developing products to complement or enhance the need of their core business products – hard drives and storage.

The WD TV HD Media Player has a memory buffer inside but uses two USB ports on the backside where you can plug in USB sticks or USB hard drives, like the Passport, to store the digital stream.

The WD TV HD is competatively prices at $129.99 and has HDMI composite outputs.
