Western Digital takes network storage to the next level with the My Book World Edition hard drives. This 1TB drive attaches to your network with a Gigabit Ethernet connection for fast data transfers. A capacity gauge on the front lets you know how much space you have left on the drive. For added network storage you can attach a USB hard drive to the drive.
Data OnHand lets you use Windows Explorer on any PC anywhere to access, edit and save files. WD Anywhere Access ensures access to your data even when your local system is powered down. As long as the drive is powered up and attached to the network you can access your data.

Not for the technically challenged...
- Pros: 1GB, Ethernet Connection, Linux OS, Easy to setup SMB, SSH, FTP, HTTP, and Telnet. Makes a decent Media Server.
- Cons: ARM 9series processor, 32MB RAM, Fan noise (okay, that last one is a joke, unless you lay your ear on it you don't hear it)
- Other Thoughts: This drive is great for anyone who either has Networking and Linux knowledge or knows how to use Metacrawler.com and Google.com/linux to find information.
1) MioNet is NOT necessary at all, so do NOT install it! (No, you do not need it for internet access)
2) You will NOT get Gigabit speeds transferring because there are no drives out yet that can read/write at such speeds.
3) The average write speed for the one I have was roughly 3min/1GB out of the box, but after configuring the Linux that is on it the speed seems closer to 2min/1GB.
4) mybookworld.wikidot.com is a great resource for setting this up the way it should be.
5) TURN OFF QOS ON YOUR NIC AND ROUTER! You shouldn't have this enabled anyway, it's not worth it, and with the MBWE you'll be re-starting your transfers every 20-30 minutes.
Awesome product for someone who knows what they're doing.
- Pros: Very fast (gigabit ethernet). Huge storage, browser based configuration interface, ability to set up multiple users with varying levels of access. If you can properly configure a router, this thing is a cinch.
- Cons: Supposedly the included software sucks. This is why I didn't bother installing it! You don't need it! If you just want a networked storage drive and don't want to BS with all kinds of third party software, this thing rocks! If you're not familiar with setting up routers, or want something extremely simple, this may not be the product for you.
- Other Thoughts: I purchased this thing about three months ago, plugged in the power, plugged it into my gigabit switch, gave it a name through the browser interface, and haven't touched it since.

Good NAS
- Pros: I really like the fact that it has a 10/100/1000 LAN, but unfortunately I have not yet been able to utilize this. I found that the setup was easy, at least if you set it up through a browser. I've had this drive since November of 2008 and it works, no problem as of writing this mid-Jan 2009.
- Cons: I think that the software bundled with this device is for the most part useless, one of the reasons I picked this up was that it was on sale for 179.99 which I think was very reasonable considering its a NAS (network attached storage "device") and a 1tb drive. Right off the bat the software would not recognize my drive plugged right into my router, even after changing out cables and being able to access it through the browser.
I also think that the USB extension is useless, I tried plugging a 500gb western digital my essential drive I picked up a couple years ago that I had. I found that the drive would see the extension with no problem, but (and this may not be the drives fault but I'm not a network expert) it seems that when it would access the "extended" drive through the network it was just too slow for me, this may be related to the fact I'm running the 10/100 base and not 10/100/1000 that the unit is capable of, but I'm not sure.
- Other Thoughts: When setting this up you really need to set the ip address to manual, or a DMZ with the MAC ID. But overall with my setup it is a very good drive, I had really wished for a cheap RAID 1tb external but the prices are just too high right now for me, but still who can place a price on data now'a days.
I also think that if there were a USB B connection available for setting up through USB while connected to a computer would be better, or a hard wired software setup utility, that would be greatly appreciated.
works
- Pros: Quite simply, you plug it in, open a browser window to it, tell it to upgrade and start using it.
I never used the CD that came with it, so I can't attest to any of that. (Do you really use the CD that came with your router either? If so, good luck.)
- Cons: None.
Wait, the blue light does things sometimes for no rhyme or reason. In fact, the overall design sometimes makes me think I was cool enough to own an iPod or anything from the Apple store at all.
Drive Sucks
- Pros: The 1TB and I can return it for a REFUND!
- Cons: Interface is bad, the thing wont even get off of Eastern Time soon which is STUPID WD NEEDS TO FIX THAT. Very slow even running on the Gigabit Connection(Which I know my stuff is gigabit, router, cables etc.) It overheats, first time I had it on maybe an hour and it overheated gave me flashing blue lights and shut off. AND LAST THE SOFTWARE IS B/S PERIOD PERIOD!! AND IF U WANT THE MANUAL U HAVE TO GO TO SUPPORT.WESTERNDIGITAL.COM AND DOWNLOAD THE PDF! AS THE MANUAL THAT COMES WITH IT IS GARBAGE!
- Other Thoughts: DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE PERIOD!!
