    If I had one complaint it would be a power switch so the drive wasn’t spinning all of the time.

    Now that it took 8+ hours of work to get it setup as a NAS it works great. No directions or no places to find out how to configure for attaching to a network.

    Works as it should BUT there are NO lights of any kind to let you know it's even on. If for some reason it would get unplugged you'd never know. I have two other WD EHD and they both have lights to let you know they are on as well as to the capacity used. Very disappointing. This is why I gave it a low rating.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • Great HD
