These are about as good as it can get for a storage device.Ĭurrently, Western Digital still hasn't decided on the final release date of the My Book Thunderbolt Duo or its pricing. The drive can also be used together with other Thunderbolt devices, such as Apple's Thunderbolt Display.įrom the demo I saw with four My Book Thunderbolt Duo units, the drive seems capable of offering sustained data speeds of around 520MBps for writing and 770MBps for reading. Like all Thunderbolt drives, it can be daisy-chained to offer more storage space. While Western Digital is still tight-lipped about the drive' details, it's my guess that with two internal hard drives on the inside, the new Thunderbolt drive can offer up to 6TB of storage in RAID 0 or 3TB in RAID 1. The new My Book Thunderbolt Duo dual-drive storage system comes in the same shape and design as Western Digital's My Book Studio Edition II but it now has two Thunderbolt ports instead of any other connection options, such as USB or FireWire. Prior to purchasing the 3 TB I have been using a 1TB book- something happened- with original formatting that did not allow me to back up or save onto the Hard drive- however I could access what was there.- I bought the 3TB to copy from the 1TB unit- everything was fine. The major storage vendor is showing off the same drive again, called the My Book Thunderbolt Duo, at Macworld iWord 2012, which is currently taking place in San Francisco. I have been using the WD Books for quite a while.
Having shown its first Thunderbolt drive at CES 2012 without providing much detail, Western Digital is now sharing more information the second time around. WD's demo of its first Thunderbolt-based external hard drive, the My Book Thunderbolt Duo.
