2 TB My Book World Edition II External Dual Drive
(WDH2NC20000N)
Pros: Reliable
Cons: Poor Performance
Other Comments: As I mentioned, slow but so far reliable.
The WD installation disk will not work properly under Win7 Home Premium (checked on both 32 & 64 bit).
Will work under Win XP.
Same story with the CD image provided on WD site.
Ended up installing everything manulally.
Get yourself the WD Studio Edition II, but in such case when using it under Win, you will need to reformat these drives under Win (by default, these are formatted for Apple).

2 TB My Book World Edition II External Dual Drive
(WDH2NC20000N)
Pros: Reliable, Fast Connectivity, Versatile, Quiet
Cons: External power supply
Other Comments: Replaced a single-drive Buffalo with this My Book World dual-drive. Very quiet since there are no fans. Uses same Memeo-based backup as my old Buffalo drive. Moved my iTunes library to this drive -- works great for streaming to my PS3 as well as other PCs using iTunes. Only downside so far is that I cannot access the drive via the MioNet software from work through my corporate firewall -- works fine from other wifi sites outside of work.
Yes, I recommend this product

2 TB My Book World Edition II External Dual Drive
(WDH2NC20000N)
Pros: Quiet, Reliable, Versatile
Cons: Setup
Other Comments: This is a great solution to backing up multiple computers in the house... I have all 5 of our computers set up to back up automatically and now we can all access each others music and photos. I would highly recommend this product... setup was not as simple as advertised but after some tweaking I was able to get them to all work.
