Product details

The My Book Duo offers enormous storage capacities and is suitable for storing photos, videos, documents and music. RAID-0 mode provides super-fast, sequential reads at up to 360MB/s2 (max. speed when connected via USB Type-C). Switch to a RAID-1 setting with data mirroring if you want to store your data twice on the built-in WD Red hard drives. The USB type C connection and the various cables supplied make the device universally applicable (supports USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.0, USB 2.0).

  • PositiveHigh speed data transmission
  • NegativeLarge construction

The name My Book already suggests it: The WD is built for use while standing up, so the larger dimensions are not quite as disturbing. Commonality with the Elements model (5th place): The My Book has a recess for Kensington-standard locks and can thus be fixed to the desk. Good: The speed is high across the board.
