Meanwhile, I was somewhat concerned about reliability too. Is hard drive failure real? Yes it has happened to me, a couple of years ago, on a Sandisk SSD drive that I was using as my C: drive on one of my PCs. One day, my PC couldn’t load it and it took a reboot to be able to read it. The same thing happened the next day. The third day it just stopped loading altogether. And just this week in one of the Facebook groups for 360 cameras, someone posted that their hard drive failed. So it is uncommon, but it happens. Connection speeds for both read and write are good and more than fast enough for you to edit 1080p video directly from the drive. As I’ve already said, it also means I’ll have 6TB of capacity rather than the maximum of 12TB that I could have had if this drive had been configured as RAID 0. RAID 1 also offers slower transfer speed than when compared with RAID 0, so this test will show the results from a real-world test of the drive being used as storage solution for photographers and videographers.

Alongside the two drives is the RAID hardware, this comes pre-configured as RAID 0 which optimises speed and capacity for the drive.With this configuration, the two disks inside the My Book Duo are treated as independent hard drives (each one has its own drive letter). With My Book Duo, you only need one USB cable to access both drives.

As I’ll be looking at the My Book Duo as a photo and video storage solution I aim to set the RAID to RAID 1. The drive arrives as RAID 0 and preformatted as NTFS. Use the setup software, if it has not been attempted already. The software can be found in the Online Learning Center. Once it appears, it will show as with any other hard drive that you plug into your system. But, before you get started, it needs to be configured for your use and system.Striping is the default configuration. If you’d prefer a mirroring, it would be best to configure that using the provided software tools before loading any data – because any changes to the drive layout will delete all the data on there during the configuration process. External hard drives have come along way in a short time, and while the drives themselves have changed little, the technology and software around them have advanced at speed. Connected through USB-C to a MacBook Pro 15-inch i9 with 32GB RAM, the drive produced results of 82.2MB/s Write speed and 88.5MB/s Read speed.
