 Worst NAS hard drive you can find September 3, 2010
Shadi Sendi
I bought this hard drive and I return it back on the 2nd day.
I have a Macbook pro ( 2.4 ghz & 150 GB), I was trying to transfer about 75 GB the estimate time was 8 hours.
I am very disappointment form the reputation of WD.
Don't wast your time and your money.
 Not too shabby September 2, 2010

The hard drive performs well, does its job, but of course you get what you pay for.
Setup: Uh, it didn't take too much work or time, plug, plug some more, play.
Software: The web client is horribly slow, it takes roughly a minute or two to load a simple page, I haven't tried, and don't plan on using Mionet.
Performance: The drive performs adequately, but even though it's advertised as having a Gigabit Network connection, it doesn't fully utilize the bandwidth, the most I've seen was 15MB/s or roughly more than 100Mbps for write speed, but at about 33MB/s for read speed.
- For the USB port, it's handy for sharing small files (such as a flash drive), but I connected another 1TB WD External on it, and the read and write times are pathetic, 4MB/s write, 6-10MB/s read.
Other things: The drive WILL go standby to La-La land indefinitely after like an hour of non-use, it is very annoying, main workaround is to power cycle the thing, however, I've discovered that If you have a computer that's always on, open one of the directories using explorer or file browser, and keep the window alive, so as long as the window remains open, the drive will keep alive. Hope that helps some people.
If you like custom directory structures, you have to create them using the terrible web interface, then map them, once mapped, it functions as your regular folder (assuming you set the access parameters right).
The media server capabilities are alright, but nothing too special, if you made custom folders, you usually have to put them inside the "shared folders", of course a workaround to that is simply type "..\YourFolderName\" replacing the folder name with what you have.
The iTunes sharing is nice as well, but you are forced to place your music files on the Public Music folder in the drive.
Overall, you get what you pay for. I gave it a three because of the performance, and software issues.
No Macs were tested or hurt during this review.
 WD MyBook World Edition 2TB August 31, 2010
KingsPawn (Alabama)
I purchased this to complete my media feed setup and provide additional backup storage. It compliments a WD Netcenter 500GB network drive I already had. Excellent quality and realiability. I would definitely pucrhase this product again.
 Poor documentation - but works if you know what you're doing August 29, 2010

I am what I think is an advanced computer user. I wanted a NAS to use on my home network which consists of several computers running a variety of operating systems, but primarily Linux. I had to take a bit of a shot in the dark with my purchase of this NAS because their documentation was so poor that I wasn't sure if it worked with Linux. I hate when a product tries so hard to be easy to use that it becomes impossible to use - usually because they hide all of the settings that you need to know in order to configure the thing manually when their auto-configure process inevitably fails. And Western Digital has absolutely done that with the My Book.
Setting it up was an ordeal. They claim that you just plug it in and power it up and it works. I did that, and it didn't work. In reading their documentation about what I should do in order to make it work, all they said was that it wouldn't work if my network was "misconfigured." My network is not misconfigured. My network is configured exactly how I want it, and any device can be made to work on my network if only I can adjust its network settings. But Western Digital doesn't tell you how to do that - they say to use their helpful program (Windows only) and it will just work magically after that. Even after running their dumb program on a Windows machine, the NAS still wasn't found on my network. So anyway, long story short, you need to have DHCP enabled on your network the very first time the NAS boots up or else it grabs a private IP of its choosing and continues to use that until you do a hard reset, even if you have DHCP enabled on future power-ups of the NAS. Also, the power LED is confusing because it goes through a long blinking sequence when the device is plugged in and which does not necessarily mean that the device is powering itself on. I had the device on a different floor from the computer that I was trying to use to configure it, and this caused a lot of anger and frustration when I plugged it in, assumed it was turning on, left to go try to configure it, and nothing worked.
Anyway, I eventually got it configured to the point that I could log in to its configuration page, and everything has been smooth since then. All their documentation goes on about iTunes serving and media streaming and MioNet mind reading and their "seamless" program that runs only on Windows and Macs and automatically/continuously backs everything up for you. I have no interest in any of that stuff, so I was pleased to find out that it could mostly be disabled, and that NFS, FTP, SSH (and therefore rsync), and multiple user accounts with different access permissions, were all options that could be enabled. So I now have my Windows machines getting to it as needed via a mapped Windows File Share drive, and my Linux machines backing themselves up using rsync. And that's all I ever really wanted. I just wish WD had been upfront about how to do that instead of trying to hide everything behind a worthless user-friendly configuration program.
Returned within 24 hours of opening August 19, 2010

Dealing with WD's website alone was enough to convince me to return this but the slow transfer speeds also would have been sufficient condition. As other reviewers have stated, the GB ethernet is useless since the processor can't match the speed.
I went to WD's website to download the included software because I was using my MacBook Air and I didn't have my USB drive to access the CD. The intrusive and insistent nature of the WD site was unbelievable. I had to spend half an hour signing up, registering the product, and logging serial numbers just to be able to download the software.
The purported sharing services of the router are actually artificially crippled freemium service contracts that prevent you from simply port-forwarding to your file server. There is no way to remove these useless software packages. You know the feeling you get when you buy a Windows PC and turn it on for the first time to see it littered with worse-than-useless free trials? That's the feeling I got from this NAS.
After returning it, I bought a FON 2.0n router that serves up attached USB devices both to WAN and LAN through file sharing and FTP and has other automated features like a Bittorent client and automated photo uploading, etc. I will buy another NAS at some point but it won't be from WD.
