For a two-bay Thunderbolt 2 storage solution, Western Digital has created a monster with both capacity and performance with the My Book Pro 12TB RAID unit.
We will discuss a new external solution from Western Digital supporting three different interfaces: FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0. As you will see from the results of our test session it is an excellent solution offering highest practical speed when using FireWire 800 interface.
Western Digital has made a number of improvements on the original My Book with the Pro Edition. The capacity is a huge 500GB, and you get both FireWire 400 and 800 as well as the original USB 2 interface.
Western Digital have released an excellent product with the My Book Pro Edition 500 GB. 500 GB of storage capacity and excellent performance, this combined with a multitude of connection options and a handy storage capacity indicator make for a complete package.
Unfortunately this device did not perform to expectations with some design flaws really letting it down at the end

My system is admittedly a little bit on the older side (18 year old me NEVER thought I’d say that!) Running an AMD 1090T, 850W PSU, Radeon 6950 card, and 890G chipset motherboard. Good for 2011, and gets the job done in 2015.

10 TB! Ten! A few years ago, I couldn’t have dreamed of having 10 terabytes sitting on my desk next to me. I am a freelance/professional photographer in my spare time and anyone who has done independent work for someone knows just how absolutely scary it can be to lose someone’s files.

Why does “Professional” now have to mean Mac? I have been doing professional photography for 6 or 7 years on a Windows system with no problems. All but two of the most high end photographers I know use Windows for their systems because duh, they don’t have $3k to shell out on a laptop.
