For customers who need larger drive capacities that we cannot custom-make, we've decided to offer this Western Digital My Book Duo. It has a pair of 6TB drives internally, which can be configured for either 12TB of total space or 6TB of redundant storage. This makes it a great solution for backup if you use the redundant setting, or for any number of other applications.
In addition to that flexibility, this unit features USB 3.0 connectivity for the fastest transfer speeds. It also has a built-in USB hub, providing two more USB 3.0 ports for other devices to connect to.

Jeff Stubbers (Tier 3 Consulting Lead) Says:
The capacity capabilities on these devices keep increasing. It is nice that this MyBook can be setup in Either 12TB RAID 0 (Striped), 6TB RAID 1 (Mirrored), or 12TB JBOD.
The My Book Live Duo has (2) USB 3.0 ports, so you can connect to (2) devices or systems at once, which can be handy if you want to back up files from multiple systems.
This is also user serviceable, so you have access to remove/replace drives to expand capacity with just a push of a button.
