New Firmware Version 1.02.12 for the My Book World I & II (10/19/11)

Clearly, the silent treatment isn’t helping. At this point we must assume WD is unable to fix the MBWEII or unwilling to make it a priority. Leading up to the latest firmware, this board had WD employees actively conversing with us. Not all customers were kind due to their justified frustration, but at least we had some updates. Now, nothing.

And this problem is not just relegated to time machine or lion. The latest firmware has essentially bricked my NAS because my ps3 can’t even stream from it with any dependability. This firmware has made this $200 investment virtually useless.
Maybe it is really just a chipset issue on the MBWEII. Maybe there is no solution. After all, this has lingered since lion was released!
