Western Digital team is wrong! People shuck these and take the drives out to place into such a NAS. I am still learning myself- but I hate people spreading ignorance! I buy this looking to do the same thing with my asus router. If it is not a nas, then what is it? A media server? Please be helpful- because the rouhter states you can plug in a storage device and have it transmit its data. And WD wants to say you can't do this? I want to know how to power this down, I read I can unplug it if it isn't writing, but there is no power button. Maybe this is a question for the router- I read there is a hard drive hibernation setting.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Easy! USB Application -> Servers Center -> Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk Enable or disable Guest Access as you like. Name it how you like. At bottom, choose directories and privileges as you like. [ Save ] [ Apply ] Share should be accessible by typing //routerIP (for example, //192.168.1.1) in the address bar of an Explorer window.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A Nas without raid capability and inclusion of other disks is not a Nas
