I've had two of the 500G models of this product; the first one died and WD replaced it and now the second one as just died and it's out of warranty. It was great while it was working but it keeps un-connecting from the network. I want a NAS but don't think I'll get a WD again. |

I think that i would rather have a DUI than purchase another one of these. Authentication over drive sharing network only works part of the time. Configuration takes a while. No ftp server which would eliminate a lot of problems. Network speed is slow and it has a tendancy to go into suspend perminantly so that you have to unplug it and plug it back in and mess with the power button to use it again. This is deffinately not something that I would buy again... I gave it 2 stars on features though becuase it will support USB harddrives attached. |
Very Basic - Don't buy for remote access

I returned mine and got a Synology DS209 instead, which is a much better value.
I would only suggest getting the MyBook product if you only have very basic network storage requirements. If you essentially just want an external hard drive that can be accessed through your network, this will work just fine for you.
Be aware, however, that you need to install drivers on every machine that you want to access the drive from. On my laptop, these drivers interfered with my BlackBerry drivers, causing multiple problems. Also, the online remote access software is poor at best and does not work with 64 bit systems. This is not in any documentation and you don't find out until you try to install the software. If you plan on using remote access (a key feature for me) look at the Synology product line.
Luckily this retailer honored their 30 day satisfaction guarantee and I was able to return / exchange it with no questions asked. Great service on their part. |
Good product.

Good product. Easy to setup. WindowsXP installed the software and setup the network drives withiout any problems. Windows Vista had a little more trouble with allowing the program to setup the network drives, but eventally set them up. I have been using this product for about 3 weeks now. Really like the auto backup and the ability to save the backup from my 2 computers on one network drive and have shared files on the second network drive to allow sharing between the two computers on the network.

What You Should Know

What is RAID?
RAID is an acronym first defined back in 1987 to describe a redundant array of
inexpensive disks, a technology that allowed computer users to achieve high
levels of storage reliability from low-cost PC hard disk drives, via the
technique of arranging the devices into an array for fail-safe redundancy.
"RAID" is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that
can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. The different
schemes/architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number, as in
RAID 0, RAID 1, etc. RAID's various designs involve two key elements: increased
data reliability or increased input/output performance. When multiple physical
disks are set up to use RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID array.
This array distributes data across multiple disks, but the array is seen by the
computer user and operating system as one single disk. RAID can be set up to
serve several different purposes.
Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the total usable storage
capacity. For instance, a 2-disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity
that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently, and a
RAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one whole disk. Other
types of RAID arrays are arranged so that they are faster to write to and read
from than a single disk.
There are various combinations of these
configurations giving different trade-offs and benefits of protection against
data loss, capacity, and speed. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly
found, and cover most of the typical requirements.
- RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data
across several disks in a way that gives improved speed at any given instant. If
one disk fails, however, all of the data on the array will be lost, as there is
neither parity nor mirroring.
- RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the
disks, making a 1:1 (1 to 1) ratio real-time backup. The contents of each disk
in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array.
- RAID 3 uses a striped set with
dedicated parity or bit interleaved parity or byte level parity. This
mechanism provides fault tolerance similar to RAID 5. However, because the strip
across the disks is a lot smaller than a file system block, reads and writes to
the array perform like a single drive with a high linear write performance. If
one drive fails, the performance doesn't change.
- RAID 5 (striped disks with parity)
combines three or more disks in a way that protects against data loss of any one
disk. The storage capacity of the array is reduced by the capacity of the one
disk (all disks are of equal size).
- RAID 6 (striped disks with dual parity)
can recover from the loss of two disks.
- RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and
mirroring. ("01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a
striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both
valid, but distinct, configurations.)
