ÂDirectly powered via the integrated Thunderbolt cable – a design unique to WD – performance of My Passport Pro clocks in at speeds up to 233 MB/s. This allows super-fast transfer, edit and backup capabilities. Another key feature of 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. Superior to both FireWire 800 and USB 3.0, the Thunderbolt technology of My Passport Pro makes video manipulation quick and easy – with the ability to copy a 22GB high-definition video file in half the time typically required by a USB 3.0 drive working in RAID 0 format.
ÂMy Passport Pro is available immediately through IT channel network and comes with a two-year limited regional warranty. Pricing for the 2TB My Passport Pro is approximately Rs.24,000 and the 4TB model is approximately Rs.33,000.
