WD My Book Duo 12TB A fast and fair-priced – but immobile – external drive

Compare the 12TB My Book Duo to the portable drives we tested this month and it looks enormous. And you’ll have to be prepared to fork out around $900 for this 12TB model, although smaller options are available; you can pick up the entry level 4TB desktop drive for a more affordable $400. The dual RAIDed drives inside this unit clocked some absurdly fast read speeds, and though the My Book Duo’s write speeds were a little slower, they weren’t exactly shabby. WD offers decent software and you can easily replace the hard drives in this one if you wish to upgrade in the future. An impressive desktop option if you don’t need your storage to go anywhere.
