I am looking to upgrade my current MyBook Duo and am seeing 2 external drive types that appear to be a workable solution for me.
What is the difference between the WD Elements Desktop (18TB) and MyBook (18TB)?
The My Book drive’s built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption.

Go there to get the Data sheet for more information
So the major difference between the 2 is that the MyBook comes with 256-bit AES hardware encryption? So if I do not need the encryption but just need the storage capacity and speed, I assume that the WD Elements Desktop will do.
Sure, if you don’t need encryption to your data.
