WD has carefully highlighted all the features of this device on the box utilizing all the real estate possible. My requirement is not huge and I wanted something cheap, but reliable, and therefore, I bought Western Digital My Book Live 2TB NAS. Initially, I wanted to use my old netbook as NAS, but I still use network for some other odd purposes, so finally settled onto dedicated NAS unit. Usually, these NAS consist of hard disk drive along with low-power chipset for processing. Network Attached Storage, in short NAS, are such storage devices that connect to your network (router or lan port) and serve as centralized/common storage for all the systems on the connected network (wired or wireless).
