Western Digital My Book World Edition 1 TB Network Attached Storage WDH1NC10000N (White)
The drive works and is quiet - those are the only good things I can say. If it goes into power save mode, it falls off the network. If it falls of the network, the itunes server craps out. The itunes server won't stream Apple Lossless and WD will not answer support questions about the itunes server.
If you are transferring large files, like songs, the transfer speed is not bad. Regular ffice files - forget it. 1.2gigs of Word and Excel docs took over 30 minutes to transfer. If there is an easy/fast way to sync this drive with my main drive - I have not found it.
The Mionet software for XP is crap. Takes forever to load at start-up and there's no way to stop the auto-load. If you are home (were mio-net will not work) you end up waiting an extra minute for your laptop to start while it loads software you can't use. I have not tried Mio Net web access yet - I don't have high hopes.
Bottom line - if you are looking for an affordable, plug and play NAS, keep looking.Buy Western Digital My Book World Edition 1 TB Network Attached Storage WDH1NC10000N (White)!
