WD 6TB My Book Duo Hard Drive touts USB-C at an all-time low: $198 (Reg. $290)

$290 $198

Amazon is currently offering the WD 6TB My Book Duo Desktop RAID USB 3.1 Hard Drive for $197.77 shipped. Usually selling for $290, like you’ll find at B&H and Western Digital, that’s good for a 32% discount, marks the first time we’ve seen it under $250 and a new all-time low as well. Featuring USB-C connectivity, you’ll be able to take advantage of USB 3.1 speeds. That effectively yields 360MB/s transfers and allows the My Book Duo to work with your Mac right out of the box. There’s also a built-in dual port USB 3.0 hub, WD NAS-specific Red drives, and RAID optimization for drive redundancy. Note: Shipping is delayed a bit, but you can still lock-in the discounted price now. Rated 3.9/5 stars from over 2,000 customers.

Update: 12:55 PM: Amazon is currently offering the Seagate Game Drive 4TB Hard Drive for $99 shipped. Normally selling for $120, today’s offer is $1 under the previous price drop and a new Amazon low. Adding Seagate’s Game Drive to your PS4 is a perfect way to keep up with the growing number of digital games. Over 1,300 customers have left a 4.3/5 star rating.

For comparison, you’ll pay $250 for the 4TB version of WD’s My Book Duo. So for $52 less, you’re nabbing 33% more the storage.

But for those looking to bring home a 6TB drive for less, there are certainly ways to expand your storage pool without breaking the bank. WD’s 6TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive will run you $120 at Amazon right now. This alternative isn’t without its trade-offs though, as you’re looking at slower transfer speeds, a lack of USB-C, no USB 3.0 hub, and more.

  • Massive capacity storage with auto and system backup
  • RAID-0 ready out of the box
  • RAID optimized WD Red drives
  • USB 3.1 Gen 1-ready, USB 3.0 compatibility
