About this product
The WD 16TB My Book Duo is a desktop external hard drive system designed for high-capacity storage, featuring a RAID configuration for enhanced performance or data redundancy. It offers a substantial 16TB total storage capacity, housed in a 3.5-inch black enclosure. Connectivity is versatile, supporting USB 3.1, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, USB 1.0/1.1, and eSATA interfaces, making it compatible with a wide range of devices. This unit is manufactured by Western Digital and is suitable for users needing extensive storage for backups or large media libraries.
Our take
If you're looking for a serious chunk of desktop storage, this WD My Book Duo offers a massive 16TB capacity with the benefits of a RAID setup. The array of interface options, including USB 3.1 and eSATA, means it's pretty flexible when it comes to connecting to different systems. It's a 3.5-inch desktop unit, so don't expect it to be highly portable, but for a stationary workstation or home server, it's a solid choice. The black finish is understated, and at $450, it provides a lot of storage per dollar, especially considering the RAID functionality.
