WD My Book Live Personal Cloud Storage 2 TB Network Attached Storage Reviews
| 32 of 32 people found the following review helpful  My first WD product, but not my last, By This review is from: WD My Book Live Personal Cloud Storage 2 TB Network Attached Storage (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme ( What's this?) This Western Digital network drive connects to your home network with a simple cable from the back of the unit into your router. The main idea is that you can store any files you want to such as photographs, videos or music on this drive and then share access to them with any other computers in your network.Installation was a doddle on my Windows 7 laptop and it was working in minutes. My Windows XP desktop was an entirely different matter and took a lot more effort to get running, though to be fair the problem lay with XP's networking issues rather than the WD drive. The drive is very quiet in use too, and you can hardly hear it working. I had been thinking of getting one of these for some time and I'm glad that I do finally have one. It's made such a difference now that I can have my media files in one place and I'm using them a lot more. For example I already had an internet radio unit which can also play stored music files but without network storage I never used it...

Two of us were backing up onto local external drives but the other two "never got round to it". We had to find a solution. This is it. For not much more money than a low cost local external drive, the WD MyBook Live is a brilliantly simple solution. You simply connect it with the ethernet cable supplied to your router, and power it up. Then you go to a PC on the network and load the CD supplied, and follow the instructions to create Users and register the device. That's it. No more. You now have a device accessible from any PC on the network, at any time. There are some useful extras were weren't expecting, like the ability to access photos on the MyBook over the web from our phones or iPads from anywhere in the world - saves uploading to PhotoBucket or similar. Now each PC has a timed backup set from its Control Panel (Time Machine on the Mac) so provided the...

I moved some iTunes m4v files over to the drive then started up my xBox. The drive shows up on the xBox under the media tab as Twonky media server, select Movies and away you go. For backups start Time Machine select mybooklive and go. No more to say really as the title says it just works, really easy to configure and use. I would recommend this to anyone on a budget, if you need more security or redundancy then you probably need a far more expensive raid device but for an inexpensive and easy to use NAS or media server its perfect. |
