I just received the Live HUB from WD as a replacement over my crappy LIVE PLUS. They gave me a choice between the Wifi Media Streaming but I chose the 1TB drive HUB. For movie files I ended up using a 160GB USB drive instead. I thought it was faster and more convenient than the internal HDD from the hub. The device is much nicer compared to my Live Plus. I exchanged it because of firmware issues, which seems to be a common problem with almost every WD Media players.
So far, the newest released firmware (on 11/17/2011) for the HUB has addressed most of its problems and I’m liking this HUB so far. I can always store permament files to its 1TB HDD if I feel to do so in the future, I just think of it as an added bonus since I’m not even using it. My WD 160GB External USB-powered 2.5" drive that was onced used in conjunction with my previous Live Plus serves this unit well.
