Product Description
Klipsch proves great things do come in small packages with the compact RSX-5 Satellite loudspeaker from its top-selling Reference Series. This sophisticated, advanced monitor brings stylish simplicity to the world's most sought after home entertainment products line. Because of its seamless design and placement flexibility, the RSX-5 can deliver jaw-dropping sound in virtually any space. It can serve as either a left or right monitor, as well as a surround speaker. The RSX-5 delivers incredibly dynamic and accurate sound by utilizing a 1-inch titanium-dome compression driver coupled to Klipsch's new round MicroTractrix Horn. This magnetically shielded speaker also employs a 5.25-inch woofer to capture every sonic detail. The woofer is a long-throw unit powered by a unique neodymium motor structure. The Cerametallic cone is lightweight with excellent rigidity, which dramatically reduces any resonance. As a result, the RSX-5 is capable of robust bass extending low enough for comfortable operation with today's built-in A/V preamp/processor and receiver crossovers. As with all new Reference Series models, the RSX-5 uses high-quality network components and top-of-the-line internal wiring for proper driver blending with minimal degradation of the incoming signals. These premium features ensure pure and distinct performances.
Amazon.com Product Description
The compact, video-shielded RSX-5 speaker is designed to reproduce the main or surround channels in a high-performance satellite/subwoofer system or to stand alone in any indoor application requiring very small speakers of the highest quality. It delivers incredibly dynamic and accurate sound by utilizing a 1-inch titanium-dome compression driver coupled to Klipsch's round MicroTractrix horn. A 5.25-inch, long-throw cerametallic cone woofer with a powerful neodymium magnet pumps out clean, dynamic bass that extends low enough to mesh seamlessly with the crossovers built into A/V receivers, surround processors, and powered subwoofers.

The speaker's gracefully contoured, high-rigidity enclosure is small enough to fit unobtrusively almost anywhere. An integrated ball-joint pedestal stand with bottom keyholes makes it easy to place the RSX-5 on any convenient surface (walls included) and direct its sound into the listening area. The satellite's magnetic grille easily snaps into place over its cast-aluminum front baffle, while sturdy five-way binding posts ensure secure connection to any type of cable.

Good, Inexpensive Network Storage.......2007-06-11

I don't know what's wrong with these reviewers, but I just bought one of these for $368 and it's a great deal. Inexpensive and easy to setup. Not as noisy as some of these 'reviewers' would want you to believe. Not that slow, either. Sure, I spent $1200 on a 1.2 TB Infrant and it came with everything, including Raid 5 and and Print/FTP server capability, but this box is less than a 1/3 of that.

Good, cheap, easy to setup. Just don't use the Mionet Access Anywhere software. use the admin interface, add it to your domain/workgroup, create some shares, and mount them as network drives from your PCs/laptops. Use the provided backup software or Windows backup or one of your own choosing. I'm going to use it as backup and to share music files.

Do not buy this drive. It is SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. I get frustrated every time that I use it. I keep hoping that WD will issue firmware updates that will make this drive usable, but I'm giving up hope.

My next step is to pull out the two drives and put them in a server of my own building.

WD...you lost a customer.

Total Complete Scrap ... Don't get this ..........2007-06-07

Bought this thing to back-up my music, pictures and files for my home environment, that includes 2 PCs and 1 Mac. Also, I wanted my family that lives abroad to be able to download recent pictures of my kids...

First, this unit so very noisy... I had it on my wife's home office and she refused to have it on... And the truth is that the it produces a anoying sound while on. But also, the connection is very slow and it takes a lot of patience to copy stuff around. In addition, there was no reliable way to get my Mac (OS, Intel) to automatically connect with the drive. So everytime I would turn the Mac on, I had to manually seach for the drive. Not counting the many hours on the phone w/ Western Digital customer support to get this thing set-up... Finally, I tried to get my family to install the remote software to be able to download pictures ... And even w/ high speed internet connection I would take them 5 minutes to download 1 single picture...

So guess what... I returned this piece of crap ... Total dissapoinment... Hope the review potential buyers to stay away and developers to find solutions... The market is screaming for a reliable, fast and practical remote drive ...

Absolutely the Worst!.......2007-05-23

I'm so fed up with this piece of garbage that it's not worth my time to review. However, I felt I should warn others. It is sooooo slow. I lose files almost everytime I move them to the external drive using the MioNet software that you are forced to use in order to share files. Retrieving files over the Internet is even slower than slooooooow. The drive has a hard time staying connected in the MioNet software (and thus, I'm sure this is why files become lost -- let me reemphasize: lost forever! -- don't ever move a file to the drive; copy them, and then do a compare to be sure they are there. Better yet, take my advice and DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE!).

The drive is a great idea. Shame on a company like Western Digital to release such a poor unreliable device, that will surely destroy a lot of people's lives with the precious files they will lose.

If you are still considering the My Book World, you should stop right now.

The drive has many limitations that prohibit you from using it the way you would expect a network drive to work. For instance, you are limited in the number of files in a directory; long file names aren't possible; and the included software isn't fully functional unless you pay for an upgrade, etc.

Additionally the drive firmware has many flaws. For instance, you will likely get many "delayed write failed" error messages; you will also notice that even if you delete a folder from the drive, its web interface will still report that the folder still exists.

The product specification lists a gigabit ethernet connection. It may actually be gigabit, but the firmware running on the drive is going so slow that you'll swear you are connected through a 300 baud modem. It takes a loooooong time to get data to and from this drive. Its painfully slow.

Alas, as you might expect, support is poor and overworked. I'm sure the representatives are frustrated because its just not possible to help users fix their problems over the phone if the device just doesn't work as it was intended. And furthermore, you only have 30 days of support. After that you'll have to pay $14.95 per incident -- of course you'll be throwing that money out the window too since the drive is simply a failure.

In summary, save yourself the $500 dollars and the many hours of troubleshooting.
