For Sale/For Trade
Western Digital Mybook World Edition II
Two disc NAS server, gigabit ethernet with RAID
I have a couple of these I've been using as a bittorrent servers and they work great. Unfortunately one of my drives died and I've been planning on installing two new 2TB drives in it, but in my travels I came across a Qnap NAS and I'm going to be using it to replace this unit, so I'm offering this to forum members.
There is a big following of users that enjoy hacking these devices and there are many community developed firmwares available. You can do some pretty cool things with them, such as running bittorrent clients, using them as webservers, and all kinds of other things. I was looking forward to diving deep into this, but have decided I just don't have the time, so here it is. I can't let the harddrives go with it, but I will provide all the hardware to mount them, as well as the device and it's power supply.
Here is a photo of what one looks like...

It's currently configured for two 500GB WD cav green drives, but there is an entire wiki page on hacking them and you can configure them to use any drives with some tweaking.
The enclosure holds two internal drives and has expansion via usb. You can also use them as a print server, and it wouldn't surprise me if someone figured out a way to get one to make your coffee for you in the morning... lol
My asking price is $50 obo
buyer pays shipping (actual cost), but I will offer flat domestic shipping of $10 to simplify things.
Trades are welcome on this item, as is cash offers.
The two disc models are desireable because they have embedded RAID controllers and obviously can hold two drives.
As for trades, i could use some 2.5" harddrives, DDR2 sodimms in 2 and 4GB, or a dead T61/T61p (full screen) to be used for educational purposes to help the community (photos).
Anything else of similar value would be considered.
Here is a Mybook World Edition Hacking Forum (one of several)

I'll take some photos when I have time if anyone is interested.
