On another line... what is this:? "First Western Digital restricts sharing
of multimedia files" - does it means that somehow they manage to restrict
what type of files I save to a drive? How?
WD is including some file sharing software targeting personal users
and vary small companies on some of their external drives.
The software is smart enough to recognize media files. If it is a
media file, then it won't share it to the entire Internet without a
login. (Local IPs yes). I think you can have a login/password that
allows anyone in the world to download the files, but they have to
login first.
Not really a big deal I don't think. And the basic disk drive /
firmware does not have any of the intelligence, it is just an addon
app.
Ah, it's not simply a drive, but a drive with software, either in the
drive box, or in the host operating system drive.
Here, they are charging a tax on DVDs and also HDs, I think.
