you can enjoy media in every room in your house.
Note:
DLNA and ITunes only works on your network.
For instructions on configuring your DLNA Media Server and ITunes settings on this page

Storage Settings
The Storage page enables you to specify how your My Book Live Duo will store your data
and to monitor the storage status. You can configure the internal drives to act as one big fast
drive, or set them up so that one drive automatically and instantaneously duplicates (or
mirrors) your data for real-time backup. You can also view the details of your external USB
drive.
To determine which storage type to use, consider the attributes of each:
Maximum Capacity (Spanning)
—Maximum Capacity (Spanning) combines all the
drives in a system into one big volume so that they act like one giant drive.
Maximum Protection (RAID 1)
—Set the system to data protection mode (also
known as mirrored mode) and the capacity is divided in half. Half of the capacity is
used to store your data and half is used for a duplicate copy. If one drive goes down
your data is protected because it's duplicated.
