    This was fairly simple to install, but I had difficulty getting the first backup done from an old computer and then a new computer. I had a computer guy come set it up with a few other things. Other than that it gets the job done.

    We haven't had it long enough for a full review, but so far it's done everything we've wanted and helped with backing up our many electronic devices. Being able to back up wirelessly is very nice.

    Love this device. I've been wanting to get a network storage device for years, and I kept putting it off. Finally after a giant re-image nightmare, I lost everything I had. Finally bought this device based of reviews and price, and I am completely satisfied! Works with my PC, Mac, Tablet, Android Phone, Ipad, and PS3, right from plugging it in. Love it!!!!

    This is is ok to use if there are no problems with setup. the drawback is trying to get things moved inside the unit once they are placed on it.

    Not user friendly, no instructions, would not allow me to use it after set up. I still have the "network" on my computer, cannot get rid of it! I had to take it back and I bought a different device that works great! I spent hours trying to get this one to work to no avail, then spent less than an hour to set up the one I replaced it with, connecting all 12 devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones)!
