WD's new 20TB My Book Duo rocks RAID-optimized WD RED HDDs, which work in RAID 0/1 and JBOD. When the drives are in RAID 0, they're capable of 360MB/sec, which isn't too bad at all. WD includes USB 3.1 Type-C connectivity alongside USB 3.0 Type-A ports that let you connect USB flash drives and other USB accessories into your PC.

Price wise, WD has the 4TB model at $280, while the 20TB model shifts up to $800 - not bad considering there's 20 freaking terabytes of storage available.

WD My Book Duo pricing:

4TB: $259.99
6TB: $289.99
8TB: $329.99
12TB: $419.99
16TB: $599.99
