This high-speed network-attached storage system with capacities up to 4
TB and a space-saving footprint gives you all the benefits of a big
time data center without the need for a big time IT department. Perfect
for centralizing and sharing data on a small office or home network.
Big capacity, small footprint
- Offered in 2 and 4 TB capacities, this small-footprint four-bay
system takes up very little space and provides plenty of storage to go
around.
RAID capability
- Offers multiple RAID configurations for data protection and speed --
RAID 0 (Striped), RAID 1 (Mirrored) and RAID 5. The RAID 5 mode, only
available on the fully-populated 4-drive system, is the recommended
mode to achieve both high-performance and data protection through
redundancy.
The 4 TB WD ShareSpace system is shipped in RAID 5 mode for maximum reliability.
The 2 TB WD ShareSpace system is shipped in Spanning Mode for maximum
capacity and the flexibility to add additional drives without
reformatting the system.
High-speed access, Ethernet connectivity -
Provides data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s when used in a GigE network.
Gigabit
networking and transfer rates are five to six times faster than other
network storage systems. This performance is comparable to USB 2.0
direct-attached storage.
Easy setup and discovery -
An intuitive set-up wizard and easy-to-use discovery tool makes installation a snap.
E-mail alert system -
Monitors drive and system health and sends you an e-mail if a problem is detected.
Microsoft Active Directory support -
Will join an Active Directory domain to utilize AD users and groups.
Push-button transfer
- Plug a USB drive into the front-mounted USB 2.0 port and push a
button to automatically transfer all the data on the drive to the WD
ShareSpace system.
Automatic network backup software
- Set up continuous backup for the computers* in your network using the
included automatic backup software. Select the files you want to back
up, then set it and forget it; every time you save a change it's
automatically backed up. *3 software licenses included.
Remote access software -
Access your files anywhere, anytime using MioNet® remote access services from WD.
Download manager -
Supports scheduled download through FTP and HTTP. Simultaneously manage multiple download tasks.
iTunes® server support -
Centralize your music collection and stream to a Mac® or Windows® PC using iTunes software.
Windows Vista® ready -

Built-in FTP server -
Set up your own FTP server. Manage the access authority and share your files with your friends or customers easily.
Three USB 2.0 ports
- Two USB ports on the back to connect additional USB hard drives for
backup or additional network storage. One USB port on the front for
push button transfer.
Cooler, quieter, eco-friendlier -
Equipped
with WD drives using WD GreenPower™ technology, this system, with its
efficient cooling architecture, and power saving mode, consumes up to
33% less power**, is reliably cool, and remarkably quiet.
** Tests based on comparison between
a 1 TB dual-drive system using 7200 RPM drives and a 1 TB dual-drive
system using WDÂ’s GreenPower drives.
Power failure protection
- Connect this system to your Universal Power Supply (UPS). If a power
failure occurs, the system will shut down gracefully, protecting you
from data loss.
Easy maintenance -
Add or swap out drives quickly and easily.
Network storage manager -
Manage your system configuration, create user IDs, passwords, security permissions, and quotas.
