Velociraptor Duo so we've already had a look at their other dual Drive Thunderbolt enclosure which actually had green drives inside which means you've got bigger capacity so that one was a 4 tbte model whereas this one is only 2 terab of total capacity but the big difference is this one instead of those screen drives which spin at a around 5,400 RPM has two drives that spin at 10,000 RPM so we're going to have more performance faster response times and lower capacity but more performance and faster response times which is what Thunderbolt is all about so let's see what WD I've already done my SPI but let's see what they think dramatic performance data protection and daisy chain flexibility cool 2 terabytes or up to 2 terabytes depending on how you configure it two WD Velociraptor 10,000 RPM drives inside compatible with OSX 10 whatever you want to call it okay we're going to look at that when we open it up blazing speed from WD Velociraptor 10,000 RPM driv revolutionary Thunderbolt interface okay so we pretty much covered this so let's open it up and have a look at what this one looks like compared to the other one that we did already unbox and I am expecting it to look very similar so we have a power brick we have really it includes a Thunderbolt cable but not wait yeah it includes a Thunderbolt cable oh that's awesome way to go WD for like Manning up and including the cable with these expensive Thunderbolt products love it good show okay moving right along oh it says that right on the box had I not gone through the box so quickly I might have noticed that it says Thunderbolt cable included and contents Thunderbolt cable but I like surprises that's half the fun of this unboxing channel it's like the surprise of not reading the box and then being surprised by things that shouldn't surprise us um you know what we should do just for giggle since I might not actually open the enclosure is uh we should go be surprised that we have a Western Digital Velociraptor and we should see if like uh so this is our Velociraptor let's just see if our Velociraptor is the same as their Velociraptor but let's take a look at the at the enclosure first so it's about the size of two 3 and 1 half in drives if you guys aren't sure of the scale and uh I would also love to do the traditional iPhone size comparison I know it's been a while since I've pulled this out but there you go iPhone size comparison so now you all will know how big it is lots of cooling you can see here there's passive ventilation going on in the bottom passive ventilation going going on in the top heat does naturally rise so you'll get cool air because these feet are so tall coming in through through the bottom of the enclosure and then up through the top I wouldn't recommend running this on a soft surface such as like on your bed next to your laptop although usually that probably wouldn't come up but I would recommend putting it down on a hard surface okay at the back of oh right indicator LED there it's hiding probably can't even see that on the camera don't worry about it on the back you've got your power in your Kensington lock because this baby is valuable you're going to want to lock that up if you were using it in public or as a store demo you know there's a valid reason for this um two Thunderbolt ports so these are passrs which means you can daisy chain up to six of these which would be just oh way too balling out so that would be 6 * 2 terabytes potentially with the whole thing running in raid zero off a 10 GB per section thund you know I wonder if I could convince WD to send me 10 uh six of these probably not okay let's have a look at the drives inside so I'm expecting these to be regular Velociraptor drives so you might as well look at the that while I open it so this is a 2 and 1/2 in Drive however it is a thicker form factor drive and it comes with a huge heat sink that allows it to stay cool and uh and and perform you know like it's 10,000 revolutions per minute that it that it does and here we go a so only only use WD Velociraptor drives now the other one was labeled only use green drives I don't know if this is firmware locked or anything like that but it's clearly nothing to do with the actual cooling capacity of the unit because they've taken their lowest power um coolest running drives and their highest power hottest running drives and they've put them both in this enclosure so maybe I'm overthinking this but yes it just has this handy dandy pull tab and other than that it looks the same as our Velociraptor down to the same part number two 1 TB Velociraptors and now they're like um now they're like dual Raptors thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the WD mybook Velociraptor Duo remember this is all about more performance and faster response times this is a professional grade product so if you were doing for example video editing then you might want something like this because it will be something that you can portably take with you with your footage you'll get the again the response time that you get from the faster RPM drives and the capacity that you
