WD My Book Live




My Book Live is basically a NAS (Network Attached Storage) aka storage media that can be accessed via the network. Installation is very simple: Plug the network cable, and storage is directly visible in Windows Explorer. Further adjustments, such as passwords, media streaming, and remote access can be arranged through the CDs available in the sales package. Alternatively, all settings can be accessed via a web-based menu.

But a special device that has a capacity of 1 to 3 TB is a choice to be accessed via the Internet. We were able to do it with regular NAS, but it takes a special setting on the router to make this happen. In this device, you just attach the supplied application called WD MioNet on the computer accessed, after which the data in it stayed accessed remotely.

Just to note, the process is a bit complicated. When we try, the MioNet requires modifications on the side of the firewall on the computer The access-something that is not easy for the layman. You actually can access through a browser without installing MioNet, but this way is only just to see the data can not store or retrieve. Special for iPod Touch and iPhone users, WD WD Photos provides applications that allow us to access the photos from Shared Photos folder on the My Book Live is.

With easy access from anywhere, WD My Book Live is like Doraemon's magic pocket that allows us to access data from anywhere. A rather unfortunate is not fairly easy process. Another note is this device does not provide a USB port, so you can not add capacity or backup data in it.
