WD introduces My Book Duo
WD/ Western Digital has introduced My Book Duo, desktop storage solutions for home and office. Utilizing two drives, hardware-level RAID and USB 3.0, My Book Duo delivers massive capacity and file transfer speeds not available on single-drive solutions. Available in 4TB, 6TB and 8TB capacities, My Book Duo also comes with free software that creates secure local, cloud and system-level backups for complete data protection.
“From creative pros and expert consumers to everyday content creators – people with large amounts of data will find My Book Duo the fast and reliable way to offload content from their computers, organize it in a single location and protect it with backups, passwords and encryption. My Book Duo offers super-fast transfer speeds, massive capacity and integrated WD Red drives to provide the ultimate desktop storage solution for all your digital libraries,” said Jim Welsh, Executive Vice-President of Content Solutions and Worldwide Sales, WD.
My Book Duo’s dual-drive design offers superior performance with USB 3.0 connection to enable transfer speeds up to 290 MB/s. Optimized for small RAID environments, the integrated WD Red hard drives with true hardware RAID increase performance and reduce data bottlenecks. Preconfigured in RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) 0 for maximum performance and capacity, My Book Duo offers users the flexibility to take advantage of mirror mode (RAID 1) for ultimate data protection or use JBOD configuration to use the drives individually. In mirror mode (RAID 1) the drives continuously maintain a second copy of all the digital files for real-time data backup. One drive is used to store the user’s data while the second drive is used for a duplicate copy. In the unlikely event that one drive fails, all of the user’s data is still available from the other drive.
My Book Duo offers total data protection with local, cloud and system-level backup available through WD Smartware Pro backup software and Acronis true Image software. The automatic and continuous settings within WD Smartware Pro make file and folder backups quick and easy.
In addition to the performance benefits of hardware RAID, My Book Duo is engineered with optimum security in mind. My Book Duo has 256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection to provide ultimate hardware and software security.
Pricing for My Book Duo is INR20,000 for 4TB, INR25,000 for 6TB and INR31,000 for 8TB. My Book Duo comes with a two-year limited worldwide warranty and is expected to be available in India from the last week of August 2014.
