How to use

Connect the My Book Duo to your computer using the supplied USB Type-C to Type-C cable or the Type-C to Type-A cable depending on your host ports. The drive ships preconfigured in RAID-0 for maximum speed—install WD Drive Utilities to change the configuration to RAID-1 for mirroring or to JBOD for two independent volumes. Use the WD Security application to set a password and enable the 256-bit AES hardware encryption. Access the drive like any external storage device for copying, editing, or backing up files.

Recommendations

For data protection, enable RAID-1 or maintain regular backups of critical files. Use the USB Type-C connection for best transfer rates and ensure your host supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) to reach optimal performance. Keep firmware and WD software updated and set a secure password to activate encryption.
