Title: Poor performance and no OS X support - this is not woth the effort.
Review: We purchased a Book World Edition II for our office to use as external storage to be shared across multiple computers (Macs and PCs). It has been a nightmare.There is no OS X support. None. Although there are some hacks out there for accessing the drive using SMB for OS X, it is not a simple procedure and should not be considered a solution but more of a workaround.Also, although the Book World Edition II has a gigabit ethernet port, the backplane (the board that connects the hard drives to the ethernet port) is NOT gigabit. So don;t expect gigabit speeds from this drive.All in all, it advertises itself poorly and is difficult to set up and maintain. There are other options out there, and I suggest you research them.
Is the review positive or negative?
