Western Digital has introduced a dual-drive version of its MyBook Live NAS.

The My Book Live Duo has two user-replaceable 3.5" SATA drives configurable in JBOD or RAID 1. The Duo is powered by an 800 MHz processor, network connected via a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port and has one USB 2.0 port for storage expansion.

Client backup is supported by WD’s Smartware client, Windows backup or Apple Time Machine. The Duo can back up its own data to an external USB drive or second networked Duo.
