    Pros: Yeah so far I have not been able to get it to work. Tried to submit a case to WD and their site said “An error was encountered during knowledge base search.” Cons: Not working so far

    Pros: -Lots of storage room. 18.1tb actual space -look great at first. Has a nice 2 tone finish, the bottom is satin, which is great. The top half is very high gloss, which attracts fingerprints and dust like a magnet. -2 usb 3.0 ports. -very quiet -your choice of raid setups -fast -software pre-loaded on drive For the most part this is everything most people will need in a network storage drive. Huge storage capacity, with raid options, raid 0 out of the box for the most space, or use the…

    Pros: Very high capacity (18.1TB of actual space), RAID-0 or RAID-1 options, USB 3.1. This is the kind of feature set you want in an external drive for this sort of price. And it is, indeed, a good price for what it is. Of course, it’s up to you to determine if it’s what you need. For the price, make sure you’re getting the right hardware. But if this is what you want, go for it. This is certainly going to do the job if this is the type of hardware you need. In terms of speed, I’m clocking…

    Pros: looks super cool on my desk WD support is amazing Cons: WD software did not work properly on my 2017 macbook pro 2017. Overall Review: This never worked for me, but WD was with me all the way. They even sent out a second device to make certain that it wasn’t a hardware issue. Both devices were a no-go for me and they took them back. I’m going to pick up a couple of WD red drives for a third-party enclosure. Thanks WD!

    Pros: Very easy to setup under MacOS Mojave. I am using it as my primary storage and Time Machine volumes as upgrading the internal Mac Mini storage is expensive and only available at order time. As my Mac Mini is on all the time, I set the drives not to sleep. I have had no issues yet. My Mac Mini is a development, music making, and general use machine. I like the setup options in the WD application. Currently have them set as individual volumes. As I have an online backup solution, using…

    Cons: Bulky, heavy, not easy to store my photos and then work remotely. Overall Review: The reason I gave this My Book Duo one egg is because I trusted my 155K Lightroom photos to this drive, storing them on this drive since my hard drive could not accommodate the 585GB. I had the two drives set up as mirrored…should be safe, right? But what if the case goes bad, which happened to me. The fan kept going on, and on, and I could not access my photos. I unplugged, and re-plugged, and still…

  7. TIM M.

    Pros: Fast Quiet Huge storage Affordable Cons: Large (not that there is any option) Quality of the housing could be better – just doesn’t feel solid to me Overall Review: After using it for a couple weeks now, I’ve downloaded a huge amount of my photos from Prime Photos, and have since copied many of those files to local HD’s for syncing with Prime Photos on-line. Performance is well above what I expected from what is essentially WD RED 5400 RPM drives in a RAID configuration. Assuming this…

    Pros: I have used several My Book Duo models over the years and I have generally had a good experience with them. This one works well with my iMac running macOS Bug Sur, as a Time Machine disk. I like that it uses a USB-C connection and I really appreciate that it acts as a hub, giving you two USB-A ports to connect other devices to. Cons: It is a minor issue, but I am not a fan of the new case design. The previous, silver design with a small, subtle activity indicator was much nicer. This…
