Good product but slow. Accessing files over the network is not fast.

From a size standpoint, it's not that different from your garden variety portable HDD. Setup wasn't overly difficult either. Just need to remember when you want to stream from the HDD, to go into your device's WIFI settings & connect to it just like you would with any WIFI connection. Another neat gadget for the collection, for sure!

Pretty good hard drive, but not as good as my last one. When my last one got full I bought the new one, but apparently there is no way to have it back up computer automatically like the other one. Need to do it manually whenever I have time. If there is a way to have it backup automatically I can't figure how.

This was bigger and bulkier than I had expected and would rather have the more rectangular model with a longer-life battery, but I got this model at a good price. Setup was relatively easy for me, but I've used devices like this before. It can be useful for streaming videos to tables/phones while on long drives, especially if you have a few kids that want to watch different things.

It's great to have a drive you can use without having to plug in to the USB port. If the UI was more user friendly, it would be perfect.

Actually bought this item on a whim. Was pleasantly surprised by the way it works. The app is a little odd, because you have to set your wifi access to the drive, but all in all, I am very pleased with it.

Works well as a backup to my phone and Ipad, but doesn't work as well with storing movies. I wish the product description would have been more clear that it does not work with Ultraviolet digital copies or with movies purchased through Itunes. After buying it and having it not work, I found it buried in an FAQ that it does not work.

Wish you could just add more memory with a USB input but this is great on road trips for the whole family with tablets. Just need to download the app as well.

Great convenient product for using with WiFi storage. However virtually no instructions so you have to basically wing it when installation is concerned

I needed a cordless portable drive with the ability to connect to a WiFi hot spot, act as a hot spot and store a ton of files. This was the perfect solution. You can use it with your PC, tablet or phone !! Turn it on, connect your computer, tablet or phone to it's built-in hotspot then tell it to connect to your home WiFi router. Love it !!

After finding a media player that would play the videos i had, it worked great. Both kids were able to stream movies without a dvd mess everywhere. Also saved thousands by letting the kids use tablets they already have and omitting the entertainment package in our vehicles.
