Reviews of the Western Digital My Book World Edition (2TB)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Easy to use as shared storage; very fast performance; great design; affordable.
The Bad: No RAID support; hard drive is not user serviceable; lack of common features found in many NAS servers; plug-and-play features only works with Windows Vista or Mac OS X; MioNet remote access service is useless.
The Bottom Line: The Western Digital My Book World Edition is a fast, plug and play simple-to-use NAS server that unfortunately lacks many features and has subpar remote access performance.
