 <\/p>\n

Sydney, Australia \u2013 January 18, 2012<\/strong> \u2013 Western Digital , the world\u2019s leader in digital storage solutions, today introduced My Book Live Duo, a personal cloud storage system that combines the benefits of shared storage and remote access with double-safe backup or increased capacity of a dual-drive system with RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology.<\/p>\n

Double-Safe Backup<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Compatible with Mac\u00ae and PC operating systems, My Book Live Duo continuously maintains a second copy of all your files for real-time data backup in mirrored mode (RAID 1). Half the capacity is used to store users\u2019 data and half is used for a second copy. In the unlikely event that one drive fails, data is protected because it’s duplicated on the other drive. For automatic backup Windows\u00ae users can use the included WD SmartWare\u00ae software and Mac users can utilize all the features of Apple\u00ae Time Machine\u00ae backup software to protect their data.<\/p>\n

Maximum Performance and Storage Capacity<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>In spanning mode the two-drive system combines both drives into one large volume acting as one drive for maximum storage capacity, while its built-in 800 MHz CPU delivers the power and performance needed for today\u2019s most demanding applications. Designed around the most recent advances in Ethernet chip technology, My Book Live Duo personal cloud delivers best-in-class read speeds faster than traditional USB 2.0 drives. My Book Live Duo is currently available in 4 TB and 6 TB capacities.<\/p>\n

WD\u2019s Personal Cloud<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>As with WD\u2019s My Book Live\u2122 personal cloud storage solution, My Book Live Duo connects to the home network to create shared storage that users can access within the home or anywhere in the world through secure remote access. Remote access to My Book Live and My Book Live Duo is available on any computer through www.WD2go.com<\/a> and with WD mobile apps for iPad\u00ae, iPhone\u00ae, iPod touch\u00ae or Android\u2122 smartphones and tablets.<\/p>\n

Home Entertainment Hub<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Additionally, the My Book Live Duo system\u2019s\u00a0 built-in media server streams movies, photos and music to any DLNA\u2122-certified multimedia device such as a WD TV\u00ae Live\u2122 streaming media player, Blu-ray Disc\u2122 player, PlayStation\u00ae 3, as well as Xbox\u00ae 360s and smart TVs. Users can also stream movies, photos and music to their tablet or smartphone directly from My Book Live Duo through the WD 2go\u2122 mobile application.
\n\u201cMy Book Live Duo is really the ideal, all-in-one storage and entertainment solution for today’s ultra-connected consumer,\u201d explains Chris Bull, director of marketing for WD\u2019s Connected Home Solutions group. \u201cThe ability for consumers to safely backup all their digital content, as well as access and share content from anywhere in the world on their tablet, smartphone or any computer, truly provides a unique and rewarding experience for anyone who wants to enjoy, and needs to protect, valuable digital content.\u201d<\/p>\n
