Digital camera reviews of Western Digital My Book World Edition 1 TB Network Attached Storage
Digital camera Review: "DON'T Put Your LIfe On It"
Summary: 1 Stars
Before purchasing this product, I read the reviews. I was pretty excited when I got it because it looks pretty cool, quiet, and I won't have to turn on my pc to share my media files with other PCs at home. I'm computer literate guy and a web developer professionally. But making this drive to work was frustrating. Followed instructions to make sure I'm not missing anything. I was able to see the drive via my network but the WD software could not see it. I was able to go the admin section, updated the firmware, changed my password and was able to map the a drive to point to this external public shared folders. So far so good...then I copied some music and photos...about 1 gb worth to test the speed and reliability. That's when all hell broke loose. It took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to copy the files and it finally froze. Restarted the PC and saw some files I copied but clicking on any files rendered my windows explorer useless as it just froze. I copied 2 small photo files to test again...successful. Clicked on those files and froze again. Turned off my firewall just to make sure it's not the root cause but result was the same. I could not read or delete any of the files but copy files into the drive.
Finally, after spending hours trying to make it work, I called support. Talked to semi-educated support who says it MUST be mapped to drive Y...it happens to be that I'm already using it. Told him that drive mapping doesn't work that way. I mapped it to drive W instead. Troubleshooted the issue with support and no progress. I was then escalated to the next support level. Tried a few things with no success. Support finally says it's the firmware and return it to the store I got it from. Considering I got the latest firmware version, it must be pretty bad.
Here's my pros and cons...and bottom line.
Pros:
Small, nice looking, quiet. Concept is good.
Cons:
problem with firmware or drive. A lot of reviews I've read says it's pretty slow...I wouldn't know as I never got the opportunity to make it fully work.
Bottom Line:
I wouldn't take their tag line "Put your life on it" seriously unless you don't mind loosing your "life's" data. I don't recommend buying this product. But for whatever reason, the external drives just don't have a lot of overall very good reviews compared to the internal counterpars. I'm returning it and probably won't buy another one.
