    Not as Straight Forward as They Claim

    Comments about Western Digital WD My Book Live 3TB NAS (Network Attached Storage) Network Drive:

    The installation wasn't as straight forward as you are led to believe. I ended up having to call tech support because the device wouldn't start up properly only to learn that it must be connected to a router, not a switch.

    Once I got it up I found the transfer rates excruciatingly slow. The manual, which must be downloaded from the WD web site, informed me that I must use "giga-bit" routers to achieve any kind of acceptable transfer rate. This would mean an upgrade of my entire network.

    I also found the administration lacking. For one, it doesn't support userids with spaces which are allowed in Microsoft Windows. For another I ran into password protection issues. In one case I was forced to remove the password to be able to access the storage. In another, I was required to specify a password to access the storage. I have no explanation for the inconsistency.

    Software installation is also confusing with one type of interface software provided on the CD and an entirely different form of the software interface downloaded through the update. Also inconsistently accessible from the active tasks area.

      Already own a previous WD world book till my son dropped it by accident so I had to buy a new one.
      Has a nice feature where you can use your mobile device to access content from external drive.

      Great product!

              No, this product is not a CD reader or a transfer product. It is an external storage drive. You could store many Mp3's on here though.
