WD has come up with the first thunderbolt-powered external storage dubbed as My Passport Pro. It is designed for the creative professionals and enthusiasts. It features a Bus-Powered and User-Selectable RAID Storage.
WD My Passport Pro has two models available, 2TB and 4TB respectively.
For Mac systems, My Passport Pro has user-selectable RAID functionality to deliver needed performance for the most demanding applications in the field, without the need for power adapters or extra cables.
“The only Thunderbolt dual-drive solution that’s bus-powered, WD’s My Passport Pro enhances the workflow of mobile creative professionals by providing fast transfers and data protection for the large amounts of digital content they generate outside the studio,” said Jim Welsh, executive vice president of branded products and worldwide sales, WD
WD is positioning this portable external storage for the photographers, videographers and musicians to graphic designers and architects, people who depend on portable storage for their livelihood.
And you well that Macs has very limited USB ports, by using MyPassport Pro, you can utilize your USB ports for important connectivity because MyPassport PRO uses your un-utilized thunderbolt port.
File transfer using MyPassport PRO via the thunderbolt is really fast at 233 MB/s, providing super-fast transfer, edit and backup capabilities. Another key feature of the dual-drive My Passport Pro is its user-selectable RAID function, which lets users choose data striping (RAID 0) for high performance or mirroring (RAID 1) for data redundancy, depending on the user’s needs.
Pricing and Availability
My Passport Pro will be available at select retailers. Pricing for the 2 TB My Passport Pro is PhP 15,990 and the 4 TB model is PhP 21,990.
