WD Brand Thunderbolt Computer Storage Devices

Although Western-Digital has been in the original PC and Mac Thunderbolt drive space with hard-disk backup drives in the MyDuo, MyPassport and MyBook hard drive storage products, they've yet to enter the fully native Thunderbolt SSD space. They are however embracing USB-C with a few solid-state storage devices.

Western Digital's SanDisk division is also offering a solid-state flash memory drive with dual connectors and a slide mechanism to expose or retract them. At one end, a Type-C USB 3.1 / ThunderBolt 3 connector for more recent MacBooks and iMacs with TBolt3, the other a standard Type-A connector for USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 ports. With data transfer rates around 150MBps it easily outperforms any single external hard drive storage solution.
