Western Digital MyBook World Edition II 2TB Network Attached Storage

Network hard disks, of which the new Western Digital My Book World is one, sit on a home network and allow users to copy files to and from their computers or from other devices. For instance, you could use one to backup your files automatically every

WD 2TB NAS

This product was great to use once I had my computer buddy set it up for me. Fast file transfer but difficult to do for a beginner level computer person.

Decent NAS Drive

I found this NAS drive to be adequate performance and overall a decent investment. The web inteface to configure the device is slow to access despite on a 1GB switch. The folders are renamed to CAPS. For example: Documents become DOCUMENTS afer completing the wizard.After configuring the drive,...

"good drive, but shouldn't need software"

I generally like the drive, but having to install software drains significant cycles from my machine, and complicates what should be a simple share. If I had it to do over again, I would look for an alternative solution because of the software.

"Nightmare if you install 2"

As I said, with work you can work your way thru the install for 1 drive, but if you try to install 2 World Edition drives on the same home LAN, using the MIONET software provided, you will find yourself devoting an entire weekend or more to do so. Af

"Difficult product to use with bad to no tech support"

I bought this drive to share pictures over the internet and access documents. Mionet software acts like a virus. Even if you uninstall it, it doesn't go away. I had to edit my registry to get rid of it. Mionet never worked. It wasn't easy to get on m

"Absolute CRAP On-line Support"

It seems sad when you read the blogs about a product, with known problems, but the company seemingly looks the other way. That seems to be the case with WD. Within two days of purchasing their WD3200 Premiere, I emailed their support department ask

Big but SLOW - too slow to be useful in real world

My primary problem with this device, and ultimately the reason that I returned it for a refund, is that it is unacceptably slow. And when I say slow, I mean 10 times slower than a USB drive. I measured the throughput by copying a 1GB file over gigabit ethernet, and it clocked at 2.5MB/s, whereas...

"Good design, web conf interface OK, Eth issues"

Applesque design, fits in nicely with the rest of the apple gear in my room, blue LED complements the light from the jellyphish lamp (lol). but use static IP address. The good news is that the access anywhere s/w is not needed to run the NAS, just us

"NAS con trick and imposes file restrictions"

This is undoubtedly the worst buy I have made. It was a spur of the moment buy when I saw it at a bargain price in the shop. 1Tb for £130 in UK. It solved an immediat eproblem to bakup a laptop. After that I wanted to use it as an NAS drive so my chi
