With this almost half-price 20TB HDD, you’ll never want for storage ever again

SSDs might have been the massive stars of this yr’s Amazon Prime Day, however holy moly would you take a look at the dimensions (and value) of this 20TB WD My E book Duo Desktop exterior laborious drive. This monolithic storage dice would usually set you again a whopping £680 at another time of the yr, however the previous Prime Day bargains have introduced this two-bay, Raid Zero-ed mega drive all the way down to a deals-tastic £350.

It’s not fairly half-price (that may be £340), however cor, that’s nonetheless a heck of quite a lot of storage for the cash. Evaluate that to the £300 you’d spend getting WD’s 2TB Black SN750 Heatsink NVMe SSD for £72 lower than regular, and also you actually can’t argue with it on a price for cash entrance.

Naturally, an exterior laborious drive shall be fairly a bit slower than your typical NVMe drives, and certainly, the pair of WD Crimson drives contained in the My E book Duo Desktop have a learn pace of simply 360MB/s. Sure, that’s 360MB/s, not the near 3600MB/s speeds you’ll get with the Black SN750 (all proper, technically it’s 3470MB/s, however you realize what I imply). Nonetheless, I don’t assume I’d ever want to purchase one other little bit of storage once more if I had a 20TB mega field plonked on my desk, which is a reasonably tempting proposition, I have to say.

The My E book Duo Desktop is fairly updated on its USB requirements, too. There’s a USB-C port that helps the semi-recent USB three.1 normal, for instance, and it comes with each USB-C to C and USB-C to A cables, too, providing you with loads of flexibility. It might have been good to see help for the most recent USB three.2 Gen 2 normal, certain, however man alive, simply consider all these hundreds of gigabytes inside…

It additionally comes with its personal auto-back-up software program, too, so that you don’t have to fret about backing-up your PC manually, both. Very useful certainly.
