Two-part review. First is the hardware and a brief introduction to the device. Stay tuned after that for the interface review.

Complaints:
- Western Digital really should release a non-hard drive version and drop the price. The OS can remain in flash memory like other devices.
- No built-in wireless, but Ethernet is probably a better choice for streaming anyway. Still would be nice, so that I could take it with me on travel.
- Cover art not consistent across all views.


On a 10 scale I'd give it a solid 8. It's a great device for what it offers - but you really should hire someone (not Geek Squad) if you don't know what you're doing.

  • can you please tell me how i can connect it with my pc??

  • @ShazoPunisher For sending files - connect over the network via its IP.

    For playing back stuff - you can't.

  • If you have this on your Ethernet network can you access it from your pc and copy files to/from it just over the Ethernet without having to connect it to the pc manually??

    Any help would be much appreciated

    And thanks for the great review, just what I needed really comprehensive!!

  • @bazm013 Of course. It's just a LAN storage device.

  • Pretty smart/quality review! Any idea if I'd buy the previous version WD live Tv HD, it would also be able to play .ISO?

  • @djprotone I don't remember if it did or not. I would think so, but not sure.

  • Nice review, good job. You covered it all!

  • I think the covers don't show in the folders view because the cover art is associated with the file, and not the folder.

  • comprehensive.

  • There should have been a mouth drawn on his hand. :)
