Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Plug and play. The software that comes with it isn't even required. Compatible with vista and xp. Transfers are fast and uninterrupted on wireless.
Cons: None that I can tell. Drive runs a little warm and doesn't seem to have a fan (but those tiny fans tend to be loud anyway).
Other Thoughts: I haven't tried the MioNet, but I don't feel secure when there's a way to log into my stuff from some place on the net. The recent cases of private data being stolen from databases makes me a tad paranoid.

From what I can tell, if you buy this, don't install any software. The software must be why other folks are having problems with this device.

Don't install the WD Anywhere Access!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Works as a NAS
Cons: The WD Anywhere Access software stopped functioning after 1 day of use. It also messed up my registry so that my computer couldn't unload programs at shutdown (did a system restore to fix). Tech support for the software didn't return emails.

Also, never got the java-based web access to work either.
Other Thoughts: Without the WD Anywhere Access, you won't be able to get on the HD from everywhere. You can still use it as a NAS however, even though this isn't documented anywhere in the user's manual. Link here for instructions:

Replace step 1 with "open your web broswer and enter the IP address of your NAS into the address bar."

WD World Book

white Reviewed By: Mike on 11/28/2008
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Economical network drive, Easy installation.
I installed the software in 5 minutes and the drive was operational. I added the software to my other two computers on my network and all of them had access to the network drive. No problems with the install.
It includes an automatic backup feature that can be used on all you computers on your network. It updates the backup whenever you change the file.
I have also used the photo share feature with Mionet. It works very well. You designate a folder on the World Book with photos to share and send an email inviting someone to view them. It's easy to do. I have also used the remote access feature to operate the desktop of one of my other computers. Lots of utility and features, not just an external HD.
Cons: none so far

Great deal for a NAS

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: - Works well with my PC and with my Mac (manual set up on my Mac)
- Mionet software (after the last update) has been working great (on my pc). Makes it easy to access my files remotely
- Pretty small
- Great price for a NAS
Cons: - Mionet was not so great at first but with the recent updates, things are good.
Other Thoughts: I read that some other users complained about not being able to share DRM protected files. If you are within your home network, you can share everything you want. Most of my content is non DMR protected. I would recommend this drive to anybody who wants to get a NAS without having to spend thousands of $. If you have a decent computer knowledge, you will enjoy this product.
