It Just Works,
I purchased this drive to store all my media, it was delivered from Amazon UK within a couple of days.
I plugged it into the back of my router using the supplied Ethernet cable and it appeared instantly on my iMac. 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.

My first WD product, but not my last,
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 before; now I use it most days.
The only downside I can identify with it is the lack of a USB connection, which means that all data must be sent through the network. Transfer of 100GB of music took around 10 hours as it was done wirelessly, so most subsequent transfers have been done by wired transfer which is faster, though still not a quick as a good USB connection. If you intend to get anywhere near the maximum storage capacity of this drive then be prepared to have it take a long time filling it up!
After more than six weeks using it I can say that I’m very impressed with this drive. It is my first WD product and I have to say that I would certainly try more of their products in the future.

Not at-all Sufficient,
There seem to be two types of reviews on here:
Type 1: “I’ve just got it and it’s great…” and
Type 2: “I’ve lived with a for a while and it’s awful…”
This is a Type 2 review.
I’ll [almost] ignore the main complaint…which is that this NAS is painfully slow when doing anything wirelessly; wireless anything is bound to be slower than wired…although I have to say, this is the slowest piece of wireless kit I have by some margin.
Instead I’ll focus on having lived with this NAS for a few weeks now.
What I loved was how simple the setup was – truly, I don’t think anyone could make it easier to get the NAS to work so well done WD for that. And for the first couple of weeks the NAS – which is mainly used for my admittedly large audio collection – worked well, although it always takes ages to wake up when iTunes first tries to connect to it. But for the last fortnight, it has increasingly ‘lost’ the music stored on it. Increasingly often, I have to tell it where to find the audio files it has lost. At first it would lose some files but when I pointed out where to find one of the lost files, it would find lots of others it had also lost, but increasingly, it seems to find only the specific audio file, so I’m now resorting to having to tell it where a file is only to be told that the songs on the same album, which it also has – seemingly randomly – lost, can’t be found either.
If I grab a previously uploaded CD, load it into my Mac, have iTunes burn it onto the NAS [again] and then come back a while later, if I’m lucky the NAS won’t have lost one (or more) of the tracks, but I didn’t buy a NAS to keep uploading discs or to keep telling it where the files are.
As a media server then, it started out brilliantly and has ended up – in just a few weeks – as pretty annoying – it’s not ‘broken’ but it is in a way worse, it’s proved to be randomly unreliable. I love WDs ‘dumb’ storage drives and I will happily keep buying those, but I’ve decided this NAS is ‘Not At-all Sufficient’.
