Rating: - Absolute junk
The software was terrible - definitely access it directly using the local IP address on your network. The drive crapped out after about 2 months - the fan is not up to the job and it burned up during a 400 MB backup.
Rating: - Not a real NAS drive. Its junk
WD calls this a NAS drive. While it does have the ability to attach via ethernet, it cannot be attached to like a real NAS drive. You must install a client software. It is also very slow.
It seems to be for one person to use, so why not just get a usb/firewire drive instead?
Disappointed. I'm returning it and gladly taking the 20% restocking fee hit.

Rating: - Great Slowness

This product is great - I setup it up for my mac, super easy.

Just attach this drive to your network and figure out the IP address the drive is using (typically 192.168.0.x). Then in your web browser type in the IP address (mine is http:\\192.168.0.10) to access the built-in interface. It's easy from here. (The instructions tell you that you MUST load their software--not true.)
Other than the pain of figuring out the above, the drive is adequate. I didn't check the speed before purchase--but it's OK for my small home network.
