WD My Book Live Duo Review

WD My Book Live Duo offers a 4TB storage with web access and easy to manage options.

The My Book Live Duo ships in maximum capacity mode, meaning that the twin 2TB drives are configured for spanning, or JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks), where the network uses the second drive only when the first it full.

I purchased yesterday 4TB WD My Live Duo. There seems to be two option to choose: either RAID 1 or JBOD (=spanning). You said in your video, that RAID 0 (=striping) is a default. As far as I know, RAID 0 and JBOD are two different things. Which one is it really?

Download software for a WD product from the seagate website? Awesome, how do I do it?
Pretty informative video.

It was supposed to be said like "download software for WD product from WD website". Thanks for the correction.

If there's no power switch, how do you turn it off?

[kenobimorris]

Is it possible to use the WD My live Book Duo simply as hard drive with the usb port only without any network and installation?

When one has stored 4TB of data and is sharing it on several systems, why would he turn it off. Also there is no problem if the devices is not turned off

Hi ivanteo1973,

You can use the web based access or the cloud to modify the settings.

My My Book Live Duo is already setup on one PC, do I need to install the setup again on another PC in order to access? I am quite worry the setup will configure and overwrite the existing files in the NAS.

Would you recommend this for storing my ripped blu-ray movies, and have it play back from it to my media player? I'm worried about choppy playback.

[MrLuminoss]

how many users  can access the drive at the same time ? not for streaming but for saving documents ?
thanks

[Minusromance]

do you recommend this after using it for 8 months ?? please answer me cuz im thinking about buying it really soon

[TechArenaIndia]

This is just a simple Nas drive that you can easily install and use with your computer. The best part is that if you want to access files remotely then you dont even require any knowledge about networking for setting this up.

I just tought it was rather funny :P don't worry about it.
