Western Digital’s My Book Duo drive comes in an impressive 44TB capacity

Western Digital has expanded the storage capacity on the My Book drive to 22TB, and the My Book Duo to an insane 44TB.


Western Digital has expanded storage capacity on two of its most popular hard drives. My Book now comes with a 22TB storage option, and My Book Duo now comes with an impressive 44TB of storage. This is Western Digital’s highest capacity drive yet for average consumers like you and me.


In a press release, Western Digital noted that it has expanded storage space on these products since finding that American households now have more than a dozen devices connected simultaneously. This means that many people can now back up multiple devices without worrying about running out of storage space. Note, however, that My Book is more suitable for backing up photos, videos, documents, and other portable storage devices. The My Book Duo, meanwhile, is a more advanced drive for RAID-optimized full-system backups. It runs at a faster speed, with the option to set it to RAID-1, or two independent drives.

My Book comes with backup software that can help keep your previous documents safe, and it also features 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection. Both drives work great with Windows and Mac, but the My Book Duo is Windows-formatted out of the box, though you can download an NTFS driver for macOS if needed through the software.

If you’re wondering about pricing, these drives don’t come without a high cost. Both are available today, and you can pick up a 22TB My Book for $600. The 44TB My Book Duo, meanwhile, comes with a very hefty $1,100 price tag. You will find the drives listed in the Western Digital storefront If you want to purchase them for your backup solutions.
