Decent Product with Several Quirks,
By
This review is from: Western Digital WDG1NC7500N My Book World Edition 750GB Ethernet Network Storage System (Personal Computers)
I have some real mixed feelings about this device. The first one I received locked up during a copy and I had to disconnect the power cord to get it reset. Unfortunately, it would never come back to ready after that. The replacement drive will also lock up on occasion but will come back to ready after unplugging & replugging the power cord back in. It seems like large copies of many files and folder levels give the thing a fit at times. It is also painfully slow in transfer speed as many other people have mentioned in reviews here and elsewhere. I contacted support about the lockup problem and they suggested setting a static IP address instead of letting the drive obtain a DHCP address. My initial attempts at setting up the static IP address failed & the drive required a reset to get it back to default DHCP mode and reconnect. I later found that I could set a static IP address below my router's DHCP range of 100-149 but not above. It has been working OK since then.
I do have an issue using the MYBOOKWORLD with the two XP PC's connected on my LAN. If I try to open a JPG file with the Windows viewer and then rotate it, the PC's crash. A VISTA 64 bit machine on the same LAN has no problem whatsoever. One of the XP machines also crashes if I try to rename a file on the MYBOOKWORLD while the other doesn't. I am using native SAMBA access and not MioNet, by the way, as I read that the WD MioNet was a little flaky and unreliable. I'm kind of thinking the whole drive is unreliable though. Anyway, right now it's working, aside from the quirks I ran into, and seems like a decent value for the money.

Expected better!,
This review is from: Western Digital WDG1NC7500N My Book World Edition 750GB Ethernet Network Storage System (Personal Computers)
The MioNet software is such a hassle to get working correctly and to share the drive with numerous users. The software is not free, just comes with a free trial. The drive does not give you formatting options, and it sometimes heavily uses the network even when no one is accessing it.

Don't be fooled,

This review is from: Western Digital WDG1NC7500N My Book World Edition 750GB Ethernet Network Storage System (Personal Computers)
Great idea, very poor execution. In spite of the product being "Gigabit Ethernet" enabled, the actual speeds attainable are dismal, on the order of a few megabytes per second. Backing up your data to this drive would take days and days. If it could actually read/write at a reasonable speed (say, 25 Mb/s on a gigabit lan) then it would be fine, but as is, this is a useless product.
ps. the ability to attach an additional drive via a USB port is a great idea!
