16 TB Desktop RAID Storage

The Western Digital My Book Duo provides 16 TB of storage in a single desktop enclosure. It uses two internal drives configured in RAID-0 for maximum capacity and sequential speed. The unit connects via USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and includes a hardware AES-256 encryption engine with password protection. It is suited for users who need large-volume local backup and media archives.

USB-C Port and OS Version Check

Verify that your computer has a USB Type-C or USB Type-A port compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 or USB 3.0. Supported Windows versions are Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. Supported macOS versions are High Sierra, Sierra 10.12 and El Capitan 10.11, though the drive must be reformatted for macOS. An AC power outlet is required for the included adapter.

Replaces Smaller Single-Drive Backups

This duo replaces standalone desktop drives of lower capacity when a single-cable 16 TB volume simplifies backup routines. The jump is worth it if your current storage is fragmented across multiple smaller disks and you want hardware-encrypted, RAID-0 performance without managing separate enclosures. It is not for users who need RAID-1 redundancy or portable bus-powered operation.

Questions about this item

What cables, software and accessories come in the box, and what must I purchase separately?

The package includes the My Book Duo RAID storage, WD Discovery software for backup, security and drive utilities, a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-A cable, an AC adapter, a disk replacement tool and a quick install guide. No extra items are required for basic operation.

Should I choose the 16 TB version or the larger 28 TB My Book Duo?

Pick the 16 TB model if your photo, video and document libraries fit within that space and you want a lower upfront cost; step up to 28 TB only if you anticipate filling more than 16 TB and need the extra headroom in a single enclosure.

What does the 16 TB capacity mean once the drive is configured in RAID-0 on my Windows 10 PC?

In the default RAID-0 mode the two internal drives combine to give the full 16 TB as one volume, so you see a single 16 TB letter in File Explorer with maximum read/write speed across both drives.
