WD really delivered a drive that's paramount for an Apple user. It's massive storage capacity, easy to access internals and a rigid metal body make it a clear winner. It's also got a competitive price point now that would work well with the current Mac ...
Extremely fast for external hard drive, good looks that go nicely with Macs, simple formatting options and easily upgreadable,
Prices of Thunderbolt drives are fairly higher than USB 3.0 of same capacity, and passive cooling means only 5400RPM drives can be used.
Essentially what we have here is an external drive which allows you to seamlessly work on your Mac with heavy workloads and use the My Book Thunderbolt Duo as a backup device and a primary drive to work on without any lag or slowdown in work. So we hav...
Abstract: Face à la monté en puissance des SSD que reste-t-il aux disques durs, même aux systèmes RAID bi-disques ? Le G-DRIVE PRO constitue à lui seul déjà la première alternative.Le principe d'un comparatif, c'est de comparer tant que faire se peut ce qui est com...

Les vitesses de transfert, Les modes Raid 0 et 1
Le prix élevé
Le My Book Thunderbolt Duo offre une capacité élevée. Son mode Raid 0 permet de tirer pleinement parti de l'interface Thunderbolt. Dommage qu'il soit aussi cher (près de 500 euros), d'autant que le câble n'est pas fourni !...
Avec le My Book Thunderbolt Duo, Western Digital goute à la technologie Thunderbolt en conservant son design de référence. Les performances sont dans la moyenne avec des débits inférieurs au LaCie 2big Thunderbolt équipé de deux disques durs 3,5" tournant...
Per un professionista il WD Thunderbolt Duo 6TB è una scelta eccellente, probabilmente la migliore se si considera anche il fattore silenziosità e la buona sicurezza offerta da Western Digital, uno dei brand che presenta il minor numero di unità difettos...
4TB via Thunderbolt al prezzo più basso, Semplicità di configurazione, Rumorosità davvero molto contenuta, Possibilità di collegamento in cascata, Consumi abbastanza contenuti
Solo collegamento via Thunderbolt, Velocità inferiori alle aspettative, Cavo Thunderbolt da acquistare separatamente
Costi Il WD Thunderbolt Duo da 4TB non è certamente un'unità lenta, tuttavia non sfrutta appieno la banda disponibile dalla connessione. Il 2big Thunderbolt di LaCie (recensione) ha segnato velocità di trasferimento superiori di circa 100MB/s, risultan...

Gute Datenraten, flexible Konfiguration als RAID 0, 1 und JBOD
Konfigurationssoftware hat gelegentlich Probleme, den RAIDModus einzustellen, hoher Stromverbrauch im ausgeschalteten Zustand, wird sehr warm da Lüfterlos
Das 4 TB große My Book Thunderbolt Duo von Western Digital eignet sich gut als schneller externer Speicher für einen Desktop-Mac. Auch für Time-Machine-Backups ist das Gerät geeignet. Es sollte aber frei stehen, da es ohne Lüfter auskommt und daher im Bet...
De WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo 4TB heeft een gemiddelde prijs van 499 euro; de 6TB-variant kost gemiddeld 600 euro. Daar komt nog 50 euro bij voor de Thunderbolt-kabel. Dat is niet goedkoop, hoe je het ook bekijkt. Als je bedenkt dat de twee 2TB WD20EUR...
