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. Internals Ĭontroller 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.

The World Edition My Books function as Network-attached storage (NAS), by way of an Ethernet interface. "Essential Edition" drives used USB 2.0 for connectivity are available in capacities of 80 GB, 160 GB, 250 GB, 320 GB, 400 GB, 500 GB and 750 GB.

The unit also turns on and off with the computer it is attached to.Įssential Edition My Book drives are almost entirely black, with the exception of a single blue light, used to indicate power and activity, or a circular green light that is located on the front of the drive.

In addition to the book-like design, the My Book Essential Edition drives have an Intelligent Power Management feature that stops the drive platters after ten minutes of inactivity, rather than the usual expedient of slowing them down.
