I would like to back up and store all my files in one place. I am quite tempted by a Western Digital my book live because of autobackup from Windows and the ability to access the files on the network and also through a personal cloud. At home I have a mixture of Win 7, Xp and Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10 (though shortly both will be 12.04)

I am looking for a personal cloud like solution that I can use to both back up and access from windows and Linux. I want autoback preferably from Linux and Windows.As I have a mix of OS I wondered how well these drives play with both OS.

If you have a ton of files, be them music files, videos, raw data or if you are just looking to expand your hard drive space for the heck of it… you simply can not go wrong with the MyBook line of products.

I now have over 3 terabytes worth of storage at my beckoning call and I could not be happier. Invest in a MyBook and you will be happy you did.

Look at the USB 3 model it will also work with USB 2 with the pigtail adapter. The 7200 RPM drive is also very fast. Comes plug n play for Windows.
