Western Digital My Book Live Duo 8TB Personal Cloud Storage
Dual-drive shared storage for your PC and Mac computers, tablets, and smartphones.
Connect this powerful drive to your wireless router for shared storage on your home network that you can access within and outside the home. Share files with Mac computers and PCs, stream media to your television through your DLNA™-enabled devices, and access files remotely with the WD 2go app and website.
The double-safe place for all your media and files
RAID mirroring technology continuously maintains a second copy of all your files for real-time data backup.
Upload files on the go
Free up space on your smartphone or tablet by uploading photos and videos directly to your My Book Live Duo.
Double-safe backup with RAID 1 technology
Set this system to data protection mode (also known as mirrored mode or RAID 1) and the capacity is divided in half. Half of the capacity is used to store your data and half is used for a second copy. In the unlikely event that one drive fails, your data is protected because it's duplicated on the other drive.
Access and share files from anywhere
View your media collection on any screen. Whether you have a laptop, tablet, smartphone, or connected TV, enjoy your content wherever you go.
Your media and files on your own personal cloud
Create your own personal cloud, without the monthly fees and mysterious location of your data. Store your media and files on the drive and access them securely over the Internet. Or, use WD's free mobile apps for easy access to share and upload your photos and videos directly to your personal cloud using your smartphone or tablet. It's like having up to 8 terabytes of extra storage for your mobile device.
Shared storage for all your computers
Now you can store your entire family's movies, music, photos, and important files to one place for everyone in the home to share. Just plug the drive into your wireless router so that you can store and access files with any PC or Mac computer in your home.
Automatic, wireless backup for everything
Protect your precious memories and wirelessly back up all the PC and Mac computers on your network to one reliable location. Windows users can use the included WD SmartWare software and every time you save something, it's instantly backed up. Mac users can utilize all the features of Apple® Time Machine™ backup software to protect their data.
Speed without compromise
Built with an 800 MHz CPU for maximum performance to power all your applications from streaming to remote access. Designed around the most recent advances in Ethernet chip technology, this product delivers best-in-class read speeds faster than traditional USB 2.0 drives.
Serve up your music with iTunes®
The drive includes iTunes server support so you can centralize your music and video collection and stream it to any Mac or PC with iTunes.
