MY BOOK VELOCIRAPTOR DUO USER MANUAL 11 About Your WD Storage Device Welcome to your My Book® VelociRaptor™ Duo dual-drive storage device, uniting the extreme speed of two 10,000 RPM WD VelociRaptor® drives with revolutionary Thunderbolt™ technology to set new standards for data transfer speeds and workflow flexibility in high-capacity storage. This chapter includes the following topics: Features Kit Contents Optional Accessories Operating System Compatibility Disk Drive Formats Physical Description Registering Your Device Handling Precautions Features Extreme speed, high capacity storage-Built with two 10,000 RPM WD VelociRaptor drives inside, My Book VelociRaptor Duo delivers extreme speed and high capacity for high-end video and photo editing, 3D rendering, graphic-intensive design and more. Move data at unprecedented speeds-The Thunderbolt connector provides two channels of up to 10 Gb/s transfer rate in both directions. This allows data to travel both ways without compromising bandwidth. And this means you can do more work in less time with the ground-breaking data transfer speed of the Thunderbolt technology. User-configurable RAID for speed or double-safe data protection-Select the mode that is right for you: • 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 drive stores your data and the other 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. In JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) mode, you can chose either HFS+J or exFAT format for each drive: HFS+J for Mac applications or exFAT for running Windows® operating systems on a Mac computer. Daisy chain more drives for more speed-Use the two Thunderbolt ports to daisy chain more drives for more speed and higher capacity. Connect a Thunderbolt display and other Thunderbolt-enabled peripherals to achieve maximum efficiency and productivity. High-speed multitasking-The revolutionary bidirectional Thunderbolt technology delivers unmatched speed for multitasking projects. ABOUT YOUR WD STORAGE DEVICE - 1
