WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo : A Dual-Drive Storage System

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We were invited for a product demo at the WD Digital Lifestore, the concept store of WD at SM City North EDSA in Quezon City. The store is located at the SM Cyberzone located at the SM City Annex building.

A friend and I came from several events that day but we made sure to catch up on the activity. Though we were so late to have some complimentary snacks, and missed on a chance to win a device from WD via raffle they held for the attendees we were still treated with a demo of the WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo  - a dual-drive storage system from WD.

We regret being late, but promises to make up for the awful tardiness...Yeah, we are to blame because we had too many event invites that day and could not have the guts to decline.

Every event was just too good to pass so we really tried our best to attend all or even just catch a small portion of each.
