Quick review of My Book World Edition II Review ofMy Book World Edition IIby
ivanh
I am not satisfied with this device at all.
- there is NO FAN in device despite the advertised feature on WD website, and the device gets very hot during the operation.
- Gigabit Ethernet connection is very, very slow - just a bit faster than 100Mbit Ethernet.
- USB is not ment to connect MyBook to computer, but rather to attach another external disk (!?)
(this review is actualy for Edition I, not Edition II, i sent it here by mistake. however, given the experience with one-disk model i don't expect this to be much better either)
