Search this has revealed that it seems to be a horrible product with lots of people in forums clamoring for a class action suit. In addition to this the WDAnywhereBackUp software functions poorly, especially when compared with WD's previous backup software that was simple and actually worked. If only drobo wasn't so damn expensive! I bought a WDMBworldedition1 it worked beautifully for about a week or two then I started to get the ‘failed mount’ error.

For example the NAS i own will serve a webpage, serve as a FTP server, stream media to the network, automatically backup my computer, and download torrents and other files on its own. You can also expand it for mirroring with a usb harddrive. This product with 1TB of self installed storage (2x500GB drives) comes to $549.97 from newegg.com heres the links to the HDs im using and the NAS. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822110015 http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822136073 The windows home server does enable printer sharing but there are many NASes that offer that as well as other things.
