Our real-world transfer testing reflected the drive's strengths. Write-focused operations weren't as speedy The Content Creation test averaged 7.9MBps and the Directory copy test showed the worst speed of 3.2MBps. The strongest results for the MyBook World Edition were seen in the high-definition playback tests, where it achieved 41.2 megabytes per second, and during a restore settings task, where it hit 47.5MBps. We tested the MyBook World Edition using Intel's NAS Performance Toolkit, which simulates a number of tasks that can be expected from a NAS device in a home environment. Most of these, like variable spin speed, aren't user configurable, but the Web interface allows you to enable or disable the hard drive's standby mode (shutting down the hard drive when idle). We praised Iomega's attempt to make NAS devices easy to use, but Western Digital surpasses it with flying colours.Īt the heart of the MyBook World Edition NAS device is the 1TB counterpart of the Western Digital Caviar Green 3.5in hard drive, which has in-built power-saving features.

The ability to automatically update the NAS device's firmware directly from the Web - rather than manually download ISO disk images as is often the case - is a big boost to simplicity. Basic and Advanced user modes are available, offering access to settings including quota configuration and user permissions.

It runs a Twonky-powered DLNA server and an iTunes music server. Premium accounts, which offer screen sharing and remote access to PCs, attract a subscription fee.Īlong with Web and FTP servers, the MyBook World Edition supports NFS, SMB and AFP network protocols, and offers e-mail warning notifications.

You can't share a public URL with non-MioNet users and there is no local software package for Macs or 64-bit Windows machines. The software has removed file type restrictions since we last had a look at it, but there are still some limitations. Available through software or a Java-based Web interface, MioNet allows you to transfer files remotely from various computers and devices, as well as publicly share folders with other MioNet account users. Western Digital provides discovery software like the QNAP Finder found on the TS-439 Pro Turbo NAS, but this is unnecessary for most situations.Īlong with basic backup software, Western Digital also provides access to its proprietary remote access service, MioNet. Upon connection, the MyBook World Edition automatically configures a public share, a Twonky media server and a direct link to the Web interface, all available by browsing the network. We weren't surprised by the sole USB port or the absence of an eSATA port, but we would have liked print server capabilities at least. The MyBook World Edition has a Gigabit Ethernet port and a USB port the latter can be used to plug in an external hard drive. This worked well, as it hardly heated up during operation.

It is quite thick for a single-bay external hard drive, but the extra room allows it to be passively cooled through perforated holes on the top and back, eliminating the need for a noisy fan.
