Abstract: Today Western Digital (WD) introduced the new My Book World Edition, a network hard-drive that offers plug and play installation and automatic continuous backups making it easy to keep all the data on all of your PCs safe. The My Book World Edition is ...
Abstract: With performance that doesn’t live up to the promise of its gigabit Ethernet port, no UPnP media, FTP or print services, and an iffy remote-access option, the My Book World Edition doesn’t have a lot to recommend it.
Dead-simple to set up remote access and file sharing; includes support for Gigabit Ethernet; bundled backup software lets you restore as well; generous warranty period.
Slow read/write speeds; no print server or media server; some file types not supported by MioNet for sharing.
The Western Digital MyBook World Edition is a simple-to-use NAS drive that makes remote access and file sharing easy for even beginners. Only its slow data transfer speed gives us pause.

The Western Digital MyBook World Edition is an easy to use, media-centric NAS device with the ability to play high-definition content without fault. Its server capabilities aren’t comprehensive, however. ...
Abstract: This latest in the long line of ‘My Book’ external hard drives from Western Digital takes a different approach, giving you a full NAS solution by means of a Gigabit Ethernet connection and the ability to access it from anywhere in the world. W...

Abstract: Hasta no hace demasiado tiempo, la idea de adquirir un NAS para una red doméstica parecía totalmente exagerada, pero el creciente número de casas con más de un ordenador y la explosión multimedia que estamos viviendo, han convertido a estos dispositivos e...
My Book World Edition ist eine kostengünstige, leise Multimedia-Festplatte für den Heimbereich. Am MioNet-Service muss WD allerdings noch nachbessern....
