Features

Move data at unprecedented speeds—Do more work in less time with ground-

breaking data transfer speeds using Thunderbolt technology. Your My Book Pro device

provides a fast way to get information to and from your external drives.

Multiple dual-drive storage configurations—Select RAID or Individual Drives modes:

 RAID 0 (Striped mode) for maximum capacity and accelerated performance.

 RAID 1 (Mirrored mode) for double-safe data protection by automatically creating a

second copy of your data. One of the drives stores your data and the other drive

saves a second copy. If either drive fails, your data is protected because it is

duplicated on the other drive.

 JBOD (Individual Drives mode) for using the two drives independently, and not

configured into a RAID array.

Enhance workflow efficiency—Use the two Thunderbolt 2 ports to daisy chain up to

six Thunderbolt storage devices to achieve maximum workflow efficiency and

productivity.

High-speed multitasking—The revolutionary bidirectional Thunderbolt 2 technology

delivers unmatched speed for multitasking projects.

Super-fast external boot capability—For information about using your My Book Pro

device as an external boot device using Mac OS X 10.7 or later, see the Apple Support

article at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 or

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1034.html.

User serviceable—When you need to replace a drive, easily do it yourself—no tools are

needed.

WD Drive UtilitiesTM software—Keep your device performing at its best by configuring

the drives, running diagnostics, and more.
