Review WD My Book Live

My Book Live is basically a NAS (Network Attached Storage) or storage media that can be accessed via the network. The 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.

feature of the device which 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 that all of your data can be accessed remotely.

it should be noted, 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.
