First seen at the iWorld earlier this year, the WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo is now available through select stores and online retailers in the U.S. Deemed suitable for professionals and Mac aficionados, the dual storage device is said to be the first of its ilk featuring Thunderbolt technology.
With storage capacities of up to 6TB, the gadget sports a dual port design which allows users to daisy chain it with additional Thunderbolt Duos or various other peripherals. This gives room for increasing the available storage capacity to a vast extent.
“The My Book Thunderbolt Duo offers large storage capacities for creative professionals and enthusiasts who produce, edit, or need quick access to large files, including HD video,” cited Jody Bradshaw, GM of WD consumer storage solutions. “Its dual Thunderbolt ports provide amazing creative flexibility while allowing daisy-chaining of up to six My Book Thunderbolt Duo drives or other high performance peripherals for fast and efficient workflow.”
“The combination of storage, backup, security, flexibility and speed makes the My Book Thunderbolt Duo the ideal choice for creative professionals that need to write, store, protect and edit high-definition and graphic intensive projects,†continued Bradshaw.
The device is readily compatible with Mac OS Time Machine. Shipping with a three-year limited warranty, it is capable of handling multi-stream workflows too. Furthermore, the company highlights some key features like the customized dual drive storage system with RAID 0, 1 as well as JBOD options and so on and so forth.
The WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo price is revealed to be $599.99 (approx. Rs. 30,200) for the 4TB version, or $699.99 (approx. Rs. 35,230) for the 6TB one.
