WD®,
a Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC) company, today introduced the My Book® Pro
storage device, providing professionals and enthusiasts who must efficiently
manage large amounts of digital content with up to 435 MB/s transfer rates on
WD’s fastest external storage solution yet.
With capacity options including 6
TB, 8 TB, 10 TB and 12 TB, the
power of two 7200 RPM WD drives with Intel’s Thunderbolt™ 2 technology and a
hot-swappable hardware RAID controller, the My Book Pro device enables creative
professionals and enthusiasts alike to focus on what they love doing by significantly
cutting the time to transfer large videos, photos and audio files.
“The My Book Pro device has been designed from
the ground up for the creative professional workflow. We’ve been able to take the newest, highest
capacity 6 TB 7200 RPM drives on the market and marry them with leading
technologies to deliver a product you can leverage from the moment you connect
it.” said Sven Rathjen, vice president of marketing for WD’s
Content Solutions business. “It really is designed to perform under the most
demanding environments.”
Designed for professional content creators
who need performance and capacity, My Book Pro storage combines the power of
dual 20 Gb/s Thunderbolt 2 ports, USB 3.0 compatibility, the peace-of-mind of
hardware RAID and the speed of two 7200 RPM WD drives to accelerate creative workflows.
With the convenience of two front-access USB ports and the ability to daisy
chain up to six Thunderbolt devices, users are able to charge and sync
smartphones, tablets or cameras while simultaneously connecting 4K monitors or
additional storage devices.
At any point in time, one’s data could be
at risk if not protected. Whether it’s a lost notebook or destructive virus,
it’s critical to keep data safe and maintain a backup of important documents
and valued content. With three customizable configuration options [RAID 0 (default),
RAID 1 and JBOD] offered by the My Book Pro device for keeping content
protected, data bottlenecks are reduced and throughput is improved with no
impact to your computer’s CPU performance.
