              I have several systems running XP Pro w/SP3; the supplied install CD was useless; so I have a couple of pointers:
              1. Go to the Western Digital website and obtain the latest version of install software.
              2. When performing your [large] file transfer, do it overnight & it will be ready for you in the morning on the NAS drive.

              Not as Straight Forward as They Claim

              Comments about Western Digital� Hard Drives; My Book Live, Personal Cloud Storage, 3TB:

              The installation wasn't as straight forward as you are led to believe. I ended up having to call tech support because the device wouldn't start up properly only to learn that it must be connected to a router, not a switch.

              Once I got it up I found the transfer rates excruciatingly slow. The manual, which must be downloaded from the WD web site, informed me that I must use "giga-bit" routers to achieve any kind of acceptable transfer rate. This would mean an upgrade of my entire network.

              I also found the administration lacking. For one, it doesn't support userids with spaces which are allowed in Microsoft Windows. For another I ran into password protection issues. In one case I was forced to remove the password to be able to access the storage. In another, I was required to specify a password to access the storage. I have no explanation for the inconsistency.

              Software installation is also confusing with one type of interface software provided on the CD and an entirely different form of the software interface downloaded through the update. Also inconsistently accessible from the active tasks area.

                Has a nice feature where you can use your mobile device to access content from external drive.

                Great product!
