The device can be 'unlocked' and accessed via SSH terminal (newer versions of WDH1NC10000 do not need to be "unlocked": MBWE SSH Access), meaning that the WD MioNet java-based software can be disabled so the device can be run with an unrestricted Linux OS, at the cost of voiding the warranty. With both sets of commands a utility such as Gparted can be used to determine which paths are relevant for a given setup. The drives of the World Edition are xfs or ext3 formatted, which means that the drive can be mounted as a standard drive from within Linux if removed from the casing and installed in a normal PC. The webserver is the mini_http server, although older "bluerings" use Lighttpd. In addition it uses a VIA Cicada Simpliphy vt6122 Gigabit Ethernet chipset, and a Hynix 32 Mbit DDR Synchronous DRAM chip.
This drive runs BusyBox on Linux on an Oxford Semiconductor 0XE800 ARM chip which has the ARM926EJ-S core. InternalsĬontroller board for My Book World Edition The "white lights" WDH1NC is jumbo frames capable and can achieve ~36 MB/s reading and ~18 MB/s writing speed over Gigabit Ethernet. The newer "white lights" MyBook World Edition 1 TB and 2 TB storage capacity models, WDH1NC and WDH2NC (oxnas810, 380 MHz ARM CPU and 128 MiB RAM), have drive speeds comparable to USB, at about 10 MB/s write and 25 MB/s read. Especially for older "blue rings" models (200 MHz ARM CPU and 32 MiB RAM), where it varies between 3–6 MB/s, with an average of 4.5 MB/s. It has the same Morse code ventilation as the other editions.Īlthough MyBook Ethernet-capable disks come with a Gigabit Ethernet interface, the network speed is significantly slower.
It has the same basic case design as the Premium Edition drives, including the capacity gauge, except the color of the World Edition is white. In addition, the World Edition uses WD Anywhere Access to gain remote access to the drive via the Internet. The second generation (White Lights) expands the access choices to include NFS, FTP, an iTunes server, and a Twonky media server. Data on first generation (Blue Rings) My Book World is accessed as CIFS/ SMB shared folders. They also feature an extra USB host port to allow an additional USB drive to be daisy chained. The World Edition My Books function as Network-attached storage (NAS), by way of an Ethernet interface.
