A Closer Look
Installing the Software
After connected up the My Book Live Duo to the network, it’s time to install the software, so pop the CD into your computer and run Setup.
All you have to do is click on Start Discovery.
Your network is scanned for you.
Then all being well your new My Book Live Duo is found and all you need to do is click Continue.
And this is where is all started to go wrong!
I have tried PogoPlug, which this appears to simply be a more full featured take on the same idea. The big issue was with remote access, streaming, etc. you are limited by the upload speeds of your home network. That at times was a very big and frustrating limitation.
thanks Anthony
I have a PogoPlug here for review and so will compare the two.
And I agree, upload speeds are a big issue!
I got a WD My Book Live Duo 2 days ago. Everything worked well after the instalation but suddenly the server was gone from my MacBook pro and my IMAC’s Finders. I called the technical support and he confirmed that this issue has been reported in OS X 10.6 and 10.7. This person said that they had to talk to Apple because the problem is with the OS X 10.6. Has anyone experience this issue? Any fix?
Thanks for this – I haven’t experienced this myself, but let’s hope a fix is forthcoming soon though.
