I have not seen it overheat again. I am planning to return it if it does again. Pros: It's white, a nice small footprint on any desk. It Definitely won't be a sore thumb in any room. Cons: The My Book World edition comes with about a 3 Foot long, black, straight-through network cable. It might be a problem for some, distance wise. The software included comes with a 30 day premium trial, it's useable past 30 days, but Generally it's not worth even using.
I was unable to successfully find the Harddrive on my network through the included software. The harddrive is really slow for a link, see WD's forums. Overall Review: Looks can only get it so far in a practical world. Just wished it worked as well as the other My Books for it's money.
As you'll note in the previous reviews, this unit is unreliable from a hardware standpoint. Pros: Sleek, nice looking. Package blends in well with my apple gear. Cons: Consistently overheats if the room is warmer than 72F or the hard drive is lying flat. Rumors that you can increase the transfer speed slightly if you hack the device and install FTP, which I might do now that I own the piece of junk.
You log on to the drive using your web browser, create a file share in the device and then map the drive on your PC. Had the device for 16 weeks and it died. Tried everything I could find from WD's support web site. What a joke and I'm not laughing! RMA'd the device to WD. Overall Review: I'd like to be able to pay my bills with the same attitude, "In process for shipment", It's WD's version of "The check is in the mail".
Ya right! Cons: Case does not allow for good air flow, drive over heats easily. Internal components are poorly designed. Overall Review: I had this drive installed long enough to get all thee of my systems backed up before it over heated and crashed.
The case is so small and everything is packed so tight in that it doesn't allow for the hard drive to get good air flow.
Also you have to be really careful when disconnecting this device from power as the main board inside the case is poorly designed and can fry very easily with the slightest spark. Pros: Easy to setup, just plug into the router and wall.
Works really well, and fast. I am able to steam music and even large video files across the network without lag issues. The white with blue LEDs look good.
The fans are not loud, but could do a better job cooling. Cons: The first time the device was turned on it had to update, which took a pretty long time couple hours. The software likes to take over your PC a little bit and pop up every time the system is turned on, which is a little annoying, nothing to do with the device itself. However, this software does not need to be used unless you are accessing the drive from another network.
With that said, the software is pretty powerful Overall Review: Gave it the full eggs because the drive does exactly what it is supposed to do. Get files from home while at the office. Securely share photos with your friends anywhere in the world without uploading them to the web.
Offer your clients an easy way to access business documents, designs, and artwork. Eliminates the need for a separate FTP server. Located in the Philippines!
