Small but powerful, the Western Digital MyBook World Edition Network Hard Drive does what it sets out to do - allow you to access your files around the house with little bother or hassle on a wide range of devices not just your computer.
We especially like the fact that it comes with an easy-to-use backup solution for both Mac and PC and the DLNA support means you can share media with plenty of devices including your phone and maybe even your TV.
The WD My Book World Edition is a smart and house-friendly solution for storing files on your local network. With the added software and services, it also provides valuable remote access and automatic backup capabilities, even if the remote aspect could benefit from some refining of ease of use.
Western Digital's My Book World Edition doesn't necessarily bring anything brand new to the NAS box market but for the novice user it's an ideal entry-level appliance. It's easy to set up, includes decent backup software and an easy to use remote access service, and the price is right too.
