About this product
The Western Digital My Book Live Duo is a diskless 2-bay personal cloud/NAS device designed for users to install their own 3.5-inch HDDs. It features Ethernet connectivity and includes useful functionalities such as dual-drive support, hot swap capability, low noise level, remote access, and Time Machine compatibility for Mac users. Equipped with a USB port, it offers additional connectivity options. This model is compatible with Laptop, Mac, and PC systems, making it a flexible solution for centralized data storage and backup.
Our take
The Western Digital My Book Live Duo is a solid choice if you're looking for a diskless 2-bay NAS to build your own personal cloud. The hot-swap feature is a definite plus for easy drive replacement, and the low noise level ensures it won't be a distraction. I appreciate the Time Machine compatibility for Mac users and the remote access, making it convenient for backups and file retrieval from anywhere. However, as a diskless unit, you'll need to factor in the cost of two drives, which means the initial $60.00 price is just the beginning. The Ethernet interface provides reliable network access.
