    I simply upgraded from a 2 to 4 TB drive. The software is now a bit different since the last time i purchased and to me more difficult. It was not very straightforward to set up. Part of it was my experience with the older WD software. The hardware is fine and easy to set up. I haven't had any issues. I am still trying to understand the Backup software and may come back and do an update but right now after weeks I'm still struggling a bit.
