Storing your data to network made easy

Intro
One of the facts of digital storage is that hard drives do fail. Every now and then they just
break down, and when they do, it's always a bit too late to think if you've remembered to take
back ups of all the important files. For smaller amount of files one can use very cheap thumb
drives or DVDs, but for most an external hard drive is a good choice. For added security and also
extra functionality it's often nice for the drive to be connected to the home network - this is
where Network-attached Storage, or NAS-boxes come in.
|
The models vary from very simple one-disc boxes to actual servers with large RAID-arrays. The
unit we have for a review this time sits somewhere in the middle - offering enough storage for
most home users, and also the ever-so-important RAID1-functionality for added redundancy. Now lets
see how easy it is to make sure you will never lose the holiday photos again!

product photos and specifications printed on all sides. The World Edition II comes in two- and
four terabyte version, and the one we're testing here is the smaller 2 TB version. Overall it
weights at 2,5 kilograms, is fairly small and can only be connected via the gigabit lan port.

cable and ofcourse the My Book itself.
