WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo dual-drive storage system launched
At the Macworld, Western Digital (WD) demonstrated the WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo dual-drive storage system. What is interesting about this external storage solution is that it is based on Thunderbolt technology which dramatically improves workflow speed and efficiencies for enthusiasts and professionals dealing with large digital files such as video, audio and still photos. Thunderbolt technology is capable of producing up to 10 gigabits per second of throughput on each of two channels in both directions.
To put Thunderbolt’s speed into perspective, HD media creators will be able to transfer a standard size full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds, or backup an entire year of continuous music (approx. 8,600 hours of music) in roughly 10 minutes!
Little else is known about the WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo other than the fact that it will offer 4TB and 6TB storage capacity.
