Note: If you see an over-temperature indication, power down the device and let it

WD Support.
Thunderbolt Ports
As shown in Figure 2 on page 3, the My Book Thunderbolt Duo dual-drive storage
device has two dual-channel Thunderbolt ports that provide a fast, flexible interface for:
• Performance—Thunderbolt technology delivers unprecedented data transfer
rates thanks to its revolutionary bidirectional I/O throughput. Each Thunderbolt
port provides two bidirectional channels, each with theoretically up to 10 Gb/s of
bandwidth.
• Simplicity—Thunderbolt technology supports daisy chaining multiple devices
through a single Thunderbolt connector so you can multitask at Thunderbolt
technology speed without having to use a switch or hub. This reduces the
hardware clutter and increases productivity.
• Flexibility—Connect additional Thunderbolt technology-enabled external hard
drives, media players, HD displays, media capture and editing systems and more
through a single connector.
