Not to be outdone in the speed department by the new USB 3.0-capable WD My Passport for Mac external drives, Western Digital’s new My Book VelociRaptor Duo line of external drives boasts a pair of smoking fast Thunderbolt ports.
What’s more, the device has two 10,000 RPM 1TB WD VelociRaptor drives rumbling inside, and between them and the Thunderbolt interface, the unit offers about as much speed as you can get from an external storage system without slapping in an SSD.
In fact, WD states that the My Book VelociRaptor Duo offers transfer rates of 400MBps. According to the company, the unit can transfer almost two dozen full-length HD movies in under 65 seconds; two thousand picture of 5MB in size in under 33 seconds; and five hundred 5MB songs in under 8 seconds.
Other features include RAID 0 and RAID 1 support, Thunderbolt daisy-chaining capabilities so you can add other Thunderbolt-equipped peripherals to the party without suffering speed loss, and compatibility with Time Machine and HFS + Journaled for Macs.
The My Book VelociRaptor Duo starts at $899.99 with a 3-year warranty.
