• Great NAS device for File Sharing within Network, Skip Mionet
  I recently decided to do away with my Desktop computer in favor of an older laptop that I had previously had not been using. I ran into the issue of not having enough space on the Laptop's hard drive to store all of my music, videos, and pictures. I purchased the My Book World edition a few weeks ago, and thus far everything has been going exactly to plan.
  I have iTunes installed on my primary computer, but instead of keeping the files locally on my drive, I now keep them on the My Book. The original... more info

• What a piece of garbage!
  After a year and 10 days of using it, the the thing just failed to boot up one day. Since I've used it for over a year it is out of the waranty. All my backups, business backups, family pictures, tons of software gone. I put up with everything others say here, but never expected anything like this. Went to the store to buy a new one and it didnt even boot up out of the box. I am taking it back today. WHAT A PIECE OF CR..!

• No 64bit drivers, misleading speed, incomplete setup instructions
  At 3-5 MB/sec, this drive's speed is embarassingly slow and more appropriate for a USB 1.1. device rather than a 1 Gb device. The package includes no 64 bit version of the software and WD does not intend to release a 64 bit version. While it is possible to connect to the drive through the SMB protocol, the manual fails to mention the device's default name. I was finally able to connect by checking my router's DHCP entries.
  

• Great way to backup data
  Unit is very easy to use and you can secure files at a very good price. Speed is a factor but if you dont transfer large files all the time it is no big deal no differnet then transferring files accrossed any lan there is a delay. I would recommend this product very easy to use and works well a good way to backup files.
