About this product
The Western Digital WD My Book Duo is a 16TB dual-drive external hard drive system, configured for either NAS or JBOD setups. This 3.5-inch external DAS (Direct Attached Storage) connects via USB 3.0 and includes features such as auto power on/off, an indication light, removable drive cartridges, and a temperature sensor. Its dual-drive design supports RAID configurations, offering both redundancy and expanded capacity. The silver-colored unit weighs 5.07 lbs and is part of the My Book product line.
Our take
The WD My Book Duo is a fantastic solution for anyone needing a significant amount of external storage, especially with its 16TB capacity from two drives. The dual-drive setup is a real highlight, offering the flexibility of RAID for data protection or JBOD for maximum space. USB 3.0 ensures fast transfers to and from your computer, which is crucial for such a large capacity. I appreciate the thoughtful features like auto power on/off and removable cartridges, which add to its convenience. While it's a bit heavy at 5.07 lbs, that's expected for a dual 3.5-inch drive system. It’s a very capable external storage device.
