A: It's available on Bestbuy.com WD - My Cloud Home Duo 12TB 2-Bay Personal Cloud - White Model: WDBMUT0120JWT-NESNSKU: 5990205
Q: Do we have a release date? For this or the 20tb version?
A: Best to contact Western Digital for release dates. They have released a 10TB but I doubt 16TB or 20TB which in either case are way to large and would require Partitioning to use. You could buy two 8TB or two 10TB units but that is your decision and try configuring them to make 16TB or 20TB. Note: WD My Book and WD EasyStore use RED 5400 rpm hard drives with 2 year warranty. You might consider researching and looking into other opportunities for longer lasting and better performance hard drives to suite your needs.
