About this product
The Western Digital WD My Book Live is a 2TB personal hard drive storage solution designed for network-attached storage (NAS). It features an Ethernet interface, allowing it to connect directly to a home network for access from both Mac and PC systems. This 3.5-inch HDD drive supports cloud storage, offering remote access capabilities. The 'My Book Live' series focuses on providing a centralized, shareable storage solution for multiple devices within a household or small office.
Our take
This Western Digital My Book Live is a different beast from typical external drives—it's a network-attached storage (NAS) device. The 2TB capacity is great for centralizing files, and the Ethernet interface means it lives on your network, accessible by both Mac and PC, which is a huge advantage for shared data. The 'Cloud Storage' and remote access features are excellent for accessing your files from anywhere, turning it into a personal cloud. However, setting up a NAS can be a bit more involved than a simple USB drive. It's a fantastic solution for home media servers or multi-computer backups if you're comfortable with networking basics.
