1 of 5 Wish I had returned it instead of trying to make i Thursday, June 19, 2008
A Customer from Dallas, Texas
This item has not worked reliably for me from the start. At first I thought it was the Mionet software, but it wasn't. I upgraded my complete network to gigabit thinking the gig interface needed the speed. In a nut shell, if you want to get a file or two off or on it, its probably ok. But if you want to push 50 gig on or off, it will fail every time. At least mine has Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Good device! Friday, June 13, 2008
A Customer from Louisville KY
Got this to replace a linux box running software raid0. In mirroring mode this seems to work well. I did not try any of the weirdo internet sharing software. I just connected it to my LAN, logged into its admin website, configured it to do mirroring and that's it. I have had no problems connecting from OSX or windows XP. It is relatively quite-- not silent by any means. Sometimes the fan turns off altogether, which is nice.
I have not run any performance tests, but it does not feel slow. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Exactly what I needed! Wednesday, March 26, 2008
A Customer from Jacksonville, Florida
I just wanted a network share that I could back up from my PC and Mac computers. This works great and doesnt require the installation of any software if you only plan to use it on your local network. You can use the web interface to create SMB network shares that anyone can write to. I set up the drives in a RAID configuration and now I have an inexpensive network storage solution.

1 of 5 doesn't work Thursday, January 24, 2008
Patrick from NC
This thing worked for about 2 months, but it just died today. I can ping it from the network, but the drives are offline and they won't mount. No customer support options. Also, the included Mionet software also is unable to access the drive. When I try to connect it via USB, the drive is not recognized.
I have a Buffalo Linkstation, also NAS, and it has never had problems. It never goes offline, and the file transfers are faster. Go with Buffalo.

1 of 5 Waste of Money Thursday, January 24, 2008
A Customer from Chino Hills, CA
DO NOT BUY!
Does not stay connected to network. No connectivity problems with other computers and network printers except for the MyBook. Files stored from one computer and then opened from another are corrupted. Not a reliable product. Yes 1TB is great, but useless if you cannot reliably access the information when needed.
Caution - with the manufacturer's 30 day return period because after that it is yours. Technical support is useless. I have had problems with (2) MyBookWorld in the first 4 months and now trying my 3rd through WD's warranty program. Was this review helpful?
