According to our external hard drive HDD expert
The WD My Book Duo 16TB is an external desktop storage device for creative professionals and intensive media users. The 2 built-in WD Red drives are specially made for RAID setups. As a result, they back each other up to prevent data loss. You can store your projects, video files, photo libraries, or system copies extra safely. Connect the drive via the USB-C port or via the 2 USB-A ports. You can use the WD My Book Duo as a USB hub if you still have a USB port left. Thanks to the 256-bit AES encryption, the WD My Book Duo is protected from viruses or other cyber attacks. In addition, you can set up a password to gain access to your files.

Price-quality ratio
The capacity and the built-in USB hub are the main selling points. The LED on the front is actually too big and gives too much light. The disk comes in "Windows" format, so MAC OS users should invest some time in starting Disk Utility and reformat the disk in the desired MAC format. The 2 disks are not "hot-swap-able", but can easily be swapped. You should really download and read the manual.

This drive offers a lot of capacity at an excellent price, works fast but is just a bit too loud at start up. The large white LED in the front is disturbing in the dark and could easily have been as small as on the 4/6/8Tb MyBook models. The installation (read: formatting) for use in MAC OSX is slightly more difficult and requires some attention.

Does what it should. Not too fast, but that's not so important if you only use the My Book Duo for backup
