The drives of the World Edition are xfs or ext3 formatted, which means that the drive can be mounted as a standard drive from within Linux if removed from the casing and installed in a normal PC. The webserver is the mini_http server, although older 'bluerings' use Lighttpd. In addition it uses a VIA Cicada Simpliphy vt6122 Gigabit Ethernet chipset, and a Hynix 32 Mbit DDR Synchronous DRAM chip. This drive runs BusyBox on Linux on an Oxford Semiconductor 0XE800 ARM chip which has the ARM926EJ-S core. Internals Д¬ontroller board for My Book World Edition

The 'white lights' WDH1NC is jumbo frames capable and can achieve ~36 MB/s reading and ~18 MB/s writing speed over Gigabit Ethernet. The newer 'white lights' MyBook World Edition 1В TB and 2В TB storage capacity models, WDH1NC and WDH2NC (oxnas810, 380В MHz ARM CPU and 128 MiB RAM), have drive speeds comparable to USB, at about 10В MB/s write and 25В MB/s read. Especially for older 'blue rings' models (200В MHz ARM CPU and 32 MiB RAM), where it varies between 3вЂ“6В MB/s, with an average of 4.5В MB/s. It has the same Morse code ventilation as the other editions.ДЄlthough MyBook Ethernet-capable disks come with a Gigabit Ethernet interface, the network speed is significantly slower. It has the same basic case design as the Premium Edition drives, including the capacity gauge, except the color of the World Edition is white. In addition, the World Edition uses WD Anywhere Access to gain remote access to the drive via the Internet. The second generation (White Lights) expands the access choices to include NFS, FTP, an iTunes server, and a Twonky media server. Data on first generation (Blue Rings) My Book World is accessed as CIFS/ SMB shared folders.

They also feature an extra USB host port to allow an additional USB drive to be daisy chained.

The World Edition My Books function as Network-attached storage (NAS), by way of an Ethernet interface. 'Essential Edition' drives used USB 2.0 for connectivity are available in capacities of 80 GB, 160 GB, 250 GB, 320 GB, 400 GB, 500 GB and 750 GB. The unit also turns on and off with the computer it is attached to.Д®ssential Edition My Book drives are almost entirely black, with the exception of a single blue light, used to indicate power and activity, or a circular green light that is located on the front of the drive. In addition to the book-like design, the My Book Essential Edition drives have an Intelligent Power Management feature that stops the drive platters after ten minutes of inactivity, rather than the usual expedient of slowing them down. I look forward to hearing from you.Models Essential Edition my photos), then I have to ship out the laptop for repairs. I just want to clear this up as soon as possible because onceВ I have confirmed my laptop has been backed up (inc. I can see that the system image is about 75% of the backed up fileвЂ¦ might this mean that the images were backed up? The backup file was about 95 GB and I know my laptopвЂ™s HD has only consumed about 77GB. I saw the HD transfer music files, but I didnвЂ™t see (I could have missed it) it back up my photos.

I did run a backup through Windows 7 Home Premium, but as the manual says, I cannot see what has been backed up.

When I plug in the HD, the autorun box does appear and I have clicked on it in the hopes of being able to run the embedded driver, but there are no programs or drivers associated.

My question is how can I reinstall the drivers? I took a look at the device manager hoping that I would be able to delete the old driver and then install the new, but of course I could notВ find the driver (not installed I believe). Having read the WD manual afterwards, I obviously want to install the proper WD dirvers and be able to use the tools associated with WD. When I plugged it in, I had automatically clicked on the Windows 7 вЂњinstall hardwareвЂќ dialog box where it proceeded to incomplete the installation (couldnвЂ™t find driver). I just bought the 1.5 TB My Book Essentials on Sunday.
