Whether you’re shooting photos with theGalaxy S23 Ultraor recording video with theiPhone 14 Pro Max, it doesn’t take long before your on-board storage fills up – and over time, your local and external storage fills up too, especially when you’re archiving your computer and downloading purchased media such as music and movies. I’m writing this with a trio of SSDs connected to myMacBook Pro, and it’ll soon be upgrade time as they get full up yet again. If that also sounds like a you problem, WD has just the device for you.
How does 22TB of storage sound?
Why hard disks still deserve a place on your desktop
The WD My Book isn’t just roomy. It offers AES encryption, automatic backups, Windows and Mac compatibility, and wide USB compatibility up to USB 3.2 Gen 1.
I hate to sound like Bill Gates, who famously (but only allegedly) said that 640Kb of RAM “ought to be enough for anybody”, but I think 22TB is more than enough for even the most demanding users. But if you need even more storage and reliability for workplace use, WD also offers a 44TB version of the My Book Duo with RAID-optimised WD drives inside. That’s a tad more expensive, though: the 44TB version is just short of £1,500.
