[QUOTE="Dartholomew, post: 673926, member: 57106"] I have the WD MyBook World Edition II (2TB) NAS drive for my PC setup and it is SLOW. Not a networking/wireless issue either, it seems WD used a slow processor, leading to *unbearably* slow write speeds...something like 30 hours to copy 60GB-80GB. I wouldn't recommend it. But that said, it instantly showed up on my new Mac, albeit as one of those "blue screen monitor" PC shares. I've had no problems accessing or using the drive from the Mac. Because it shows up as a PC, I don't think it works with Time Machine. [/QUOTE]
