I own a MyBook World Edition 1TB.

Despite the gigabit interface it will only pass 3.5MB/s. Thats 1/3 of a 100Mbit interface, never mind gigabit.

It looks good, runs linux and everything but its SLOW and USELESS.
Unless you dont mind waiting 2 hours to copy a DVD to that thing.]]>Oct 6th 2009 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/Oct 6th 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/

With Seagate you get a portable drive, USB 2.0, Firewire 400 and FW 800 spinning up to 7200 RPM. And it fits in your pocket, requiring no external power source and runs only $160.]]>Oct 6th 2009 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/Oct 6th 2009 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/Oct 6th 2009 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/Oct 6th 2009 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/wd-unveils-new-my-books-with-e-ink-while-my-passport-shrinks-ev/

It's a shame, Firewire 400, despite the theoretical limits, is still much faster than USB in every day use.]]>Oct 7th 2009 9:49AM
