Product details

The My Book Duo drive has an enormous capacity for storing photos, videos, documents, and music. The RAID 0 mode offers super-fast performance via the USB Type-C connection. Switch to the RAID 1 configuration for redundancy and data mirroring on the internal WD drives. A USB Type-C port with all included cables makes it universally compatible and supports USB 3.2 Gen 1/3.0/2.0. Two USB 3.2 Gen 1/USB 3.0 hub ports provide flexibility for additional accessories.

  • 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.
