The WD Mybook Live Duo can be seen as a beginner NAS device, with fairly simple software and configuration paired with user replaceable hard drives.OverallSpecs$799 AUD(pricing info)...
Easy setup; simple setting controls; versatility with remote access via DLNA and iOS apps; quiet operation
Slow video streaming, $799.99 (6TB); $599.99 (4TB)
Six terabytes for $800 isn’t the cheapest storage solution out there, but WD more than makes up for it with the addition of remote access and redundant backups through a RAID setup. Speed of remote video streaming is an issue, though.Related Tags: 4tb...
Affordable for the storage involved. Decent speed for the price. Attractive interface and features. iOS and Android support. User-serviceable drives
Mobile applications need more work. No active cooling: make sure to leave it upright. Doesn't handle switching networks particularly well

Familiar style, up to 8TB storage, good budget choice
Limited direct connectivity
One thing that's consistent throughout the My Book brand is ease of use. Plug and play capability. The Live Duo combines with this with powerful and easy to configure features like media center support and iTunes streaming

Abstract: Consumers have more choice than ever when it comes to two-disk NAS devices. Prices are all over the place, and the features range from very basic to impressively advanced and comprehensive. Hardware.Info tested 24 different NAS devices in different pric...
★★★★The key benefit of Western Digital’s 4TB package is its ease of use. You get lots of storage space and you don’t have to construct it from an empty NAS shell and hard drives. The drive is configured to help you get it up and running quickly and e...
