The good:
  • Easy to use as shared storage
  • Very fast performance
  • Great design
  • Affordable
The bad:
  • No RAID support
  • Hard drive is not user serviceable
  • Lack of common features found in many NAS servers
  • Plug-and-play features only works with Windows Vista or Mac OS X
  • MioNet remote access service is useless
The bottomline:

The Western Digital My Book World Edition is a fast, simple to use, plug and play NAS server that unfortunately lacks many features and has sub-par remote access performance.
