Western Digital My Book Duo 24TB 3.5" Desktop external HDD, Black

The WD My Book Duo is a dual-bay desktop storage system with a total capacity of 24 TB. It is designed for workstations that handle large files, such as media libraries or system backups. The two internal drives are configured by default in RAID 0, an arrangement that prioritizes maximum data transfer speed and combines the capacity of both drives. Users can reconfigure the system to RAID 1, which creates a duplicate copy of data on the second drive for redundancy. The unit also supports a JBOD configuration to use the drives independently.

The enclosure is constructed from metal and features a USB-C port for connectivity, supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds. Included cables provide connections for both USB-C and older USB-A ports, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of computers. For data security, the device is equipped with 256-bit AES hardware encryption and can be password-protected. An external AC adapter is required for power, and a Kensington security slot is present on the housing. The system is formatted for Windows out of the box and requires reformatting for use with macOS.
