This is Great!

I bought a little while back. I needed some more storage space and after looking around on the tinterweb i found this little nugget. I present to you the AWESOME Western Digital 2 Terabyte My Book World Edition.
Its a little expensive but if you want to share files between your computer and PS3 or multiple computers and PS3’s and even Xbox’s although i don’t touch Xbox’s so i haven’t tried it, but i hear you can.

The WD 2TB WE plugs into your router using an eithernet cable, put the cd in your computer, install it and your pretty much all set.

On your computer you sign in using a username and password allowing you full access to the HD’s contents including the private “Downloads” folder (private) and the “Public” folder (public).
in the public folder you find 3 shared folders, Music, Pictures and Videos. and its these folders that can be picked up by your PS3 allowing you to stream all the movies you want from your HD (Hard Drive)

Meaning i now have 1200 movies i can watch anytime on my PS3 AWESOME.

There is also a usb slot on the back allowing you to plug in another Hard Drive for even more storage space should you need it and on the front this relaxing white light which pulsates when files are beaing written or read in a “Kit from Night Rider” kind of way.Another GREAT thing about the HD is you also are able to access all your files on your Hard Drive from anywhere in the world thanks to the MIONET.com account you get with this Purchase.If you have the money have a need for these features i HIGHLY recommend getting one of these bad boys. Its Simply Brilliant.  RobGroove Buy in the USA or Canada

      Yes i know about it and have used it but its not nearly as good as having a networked hard drive. Not only does it allow me to stream movies onto any my game consoles and computers/laptops but i can also access my filesfrom anywhere in the world. its a very handy little gadget. streaming movies is just a small part of what it does.
