  • Enfin un disque réseau facile à utiliser… et pas cher du tout. Bravo pour les transferts rapides en Ethernet Gigabit. Moins : En accès distant, les transferts sont vraiment trop lents et les copies de fichiers pas pratiques du tout...

  • Abstract:  Que demander de plus à un disque dur réseau, si ce n'est d'être accessible depuis tous les appareils de son domicile et Internet et de se faire oublier? Si cet objet désormais classique ne donne pas dans la fantaisie (pas de serveur BitTorrent, pas ...

  • Ottimo software, grande capacità, estrema facilità di utilizzo; il drive è stato poi ingegnerizzato per il risparmio di energia.
  • Non sono stati riscontrati difetti degni di nota; a voler essere pignoli, il tasto di accensione/spegnimento del drive richiede di essere pigiato con decisione.

  • My Book World Edition ist eine kostengünstige, leise Multimedia-Festplatte für den Heimbereich. Am MioNet-Service muss WD allerdings noch nachbessern....

  • Abstract:  Terugzetten van bestanden is eenvoudig. Het apparaat wordt geleverd met zogenaamde Mionet software, waarmee je van afstand gebruik kunt maken van de schijf. De basisfuncties zijn gratis, wie de uitgebreide mogelijkheden wil gebruiken (waaronder toegang tot je pc), moet een abonnement afsluiten. De Mionet-functionaliteit is handig als je regelmatig vanaf het internet toegang wilt hebben tot je bestanden.

  • Abstract:  Сразу для тех, кто подумал, что речь пойдет о тех дешевых USB-«портсигарах», которые продаются теперь даже в киосках подземных переходов: а вот и не угадали. Выданный мне на тестирование прибор скорее можно отнести к разряду специализированных серверов. В...
