Western Digital My Book Live Duo 4TB review
Sunday, May 27, 2012
I've recently bought the Western Digital My Book Live Duo 4TB. Yea, I know, it's a mouthful.
It is also ridiculously expensive. At SGD $509, it's not really some thing a person would buy everyday. Unless of course, you need something like this.
What this product is, is essentially an external storage. However, it's meant to be connected to your network so that anyone within your home network will be able to access the files.
NAS: Network Attached Storage
This is called a NAS.Of course, it's on a consumer level so surprisingly, even though it's expensive, it's reasonably priced. Higher end consumer levels can go up to $1,000. Small business NAS can easily go beyond $1,200+. (for similar capacity)
My reasons for getting this is fairly geeky/technical, so I shan't talk about it for this article. I would, however, talk about why you might need such a product.
Do you share files with other devices in your home frequently?
Do you want to watch your videos on your TV?
Do you want a centralized place to backup your data?
Do you want to simplify backing up of your computers?
Do you want to give multiple users access to the same files?
If your answer is yes to any of the questions, or if you're just plain curious, read on.
