hard disk on, you will be able to access
data on the hard disk from anywhere.

All of this sounds terribly technical, and clearly the key thing to consider before buying an NAS is the ease of setup. I have been using the recently launched Western Digital My Book Live Duos, and it has been one of the easiest devices to set up.

creates shortcuts to access the hard disk on
the desktop, and next launches the set-up
page.
You can operate the device in two modes. Raid
