Had a WD MyBook World single bay. The hardisk emitted a soft high pitch noise, probably bearings, and overheated. RMA, then the box itself got very hot. There's no fan inside. Unless you have an air-con room, make sure the box has a fan. Removed the hardisk and now using a cheap $79 NAS box from SLS 6th flr. No name, china made, not Gigabit, but has aluminium casing, can dissipate heat better, big quiet fan.
