Cheers for the heads-up, that's a cracking price.
Just put 2.5tb of data on mine over 36hrs with verify. Worked flawlessly.
Eeek
Does it work? I was thinking of getting one of these but your pictures do not inspire confidence..
Mine had an outer box with plenty of padding, and then an inner box with more.
I have just received mine and using the utilities have done the Drive Status check and Run Quick Drive Test both of which passed but several times I've tried Run Complete Drive Test and each time it comes up after maybe 10 minutes saying Complete Drive Test Failed. Our broadband connection is very slow/intermittent so could this be effecting it. Also I'm running it on a Mac so should I have set it up for Mac use before trying the test.
Worked okay 2nd time in USB 3, doesn't seems to like my USB 2 slot ... anyone else successfully used it with USB 2?
I've got mine plugged into my Fritz!Box 3390 router and am using it as an NAS without any issues.
some routers allow you to connect a USB drive and share it across the network.Forgive my stupidity; but I thought the My Book was just an external drive and not a NAS? I thought that a NAS had both an ethernet connection and an onboard processor? Can this drive be connected to my network? If so; how?
Thanks.

Ah; ok - I didn't know that.
Thank you.
The BT homehub router has this option BTW, not sure what the storage capacity limit is though.
i think it depends on what model super hub you have and what revision it is.Does the virgin super hub do this?
Wow these things must be popular. Out of all the options, there is only the 3Tb version available to buy.

Yes just been looking myself, the 3TB is still a good price though, I have one and it cost me about £95, I wouldn't mind getting another but the thought of losing another TB for the sake of a tenner is putting me off, lol
the newer style 4tb is still available for £10 more
