Revolutionary Thunderbolt™ technology.

Finally, a drive that can keep pace with your creativity. The leading-edge speed of Thunderbolt technology lets creative pros design, edit, render and produce graphics, movies, music and more in record time.

User-configurable for speed or double-safe data protection.

Customize this dual-drive storage system to your needs - RAID 0 for speed, RAID 1 for data protection, JBOD to use the drives individually.

High-speedmulti-tasking.

The revolutionary bi-directional Thunderbolt technology delivers unmatched speed for multi-tasking while video editing, 3D rendering and completing other graphics-intensive projects.

Did you know...

My Book Thunderbolt Duo is a bootable external device supported by Mac OS® X.

Move data at unprecedented speeds

Finally, a drive that can keep up with your creativity. Video editors and other digital media professionals can do more work in less time with the ground-breaking data transfer speed of the Thunderbolt™ ports on My Book Thunderbolt Duo drive. It offers the indisputably fastest way to get information to and from your external drive.

User-configurable RAID for speed or double-safe data protection

You can select the RAID mode that's right for you. Choose RAID 0 (striping) for the performance you need when designing or editing graphic-intensive media files. When the drive is set to RAID 1 (mirroring) it provides double-safe data protection by automatically generating a duplicate copy of your data. Set the drive to JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) to use as two individual drives and select between HFS+J or ExFAT per disk. Ideal for running Windows® OS on a Mac®. 

Daisy chain several drives together for even faster speed

The intelligent Thunderbolt connector provides two channels of up to 10Gb/s transfer rate in both directions. This means data can travel both ways without compromising bandwidth. Add to that the power of multiple drives processing data and you get amazing speed.
