RAID-Optimised Drives

Featuring two massive storage drives in one housing, the WD My Book Duo accommodates large files and folders with ease. The drive is RAID-optimised for fast speed and reliable data security. At RAID-0 configuration, the drive delivers ultra-fast transfer speed. While the RAID configuration divides the drive into two equal storage spaces for storing separate category files. You can also use this mode for data redundancy or file mirroring. The RAID modes are reconfigurable via a user-friendly WD Drive Utilities software. The RAID optimisation also ensures read and write cycle data integrity, keeping your data secure during transfers and eliminating the chance of data loss or corruption.

Exceptional Data Security

Loss, theft, and corruption of data is a critical issue, especially when it happens in a professional environment. The WD My Book Duo features reliable, built-in 256-Bit AES hardware encryption that immediately encrypts the transferred data with the help of WD security software. It also allows you to create and apply a custom password to the drive for eliminating unauthorised access to the files. This safety system ensures your files remain safe and secure against loss, theft, and hacking practice. Also, the security function applies to all RAID configurations and allows personalised password set-up for independent drives.
