Move Data at Unprecedented Speeds
Video editors and other digital media professionals can do more work in fewer time thanks to the data transfer speed of the Thunderbolt ports on WD’s My Book Thunderbolt Duo. It offers the fastest way to get information to and from your external drive
User-Selectable RAID or JBOD Modes
With the My Book Thunderbolt Duo, you can choose between RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), and JBOD. RAID 0 offers the performance you need when designing or editing time-sensitive graphic-intensive media files. RAID 1 provides safer data protection by automatically generating a duplicate copy of your data. JBOD allows you to use this dual-drive storage system as two individual drives and select between HFS+J or ExFAT per disk. It’s ideal for running Windows OS on a Mac

High-Speed Multitasking
The bidirectional Thunderbolt technology delivers heightened speed for multitasking while video editing, 3D rendering, and completing other graphics-intensive projects
User-Serviceable
