Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is good but have had a few issues where it doesn't allow me to put files in it. I tried transferring a folder and now it's just sitting there kind of greyed out, I can't open it or delete it. One day I opened all my folders and one of the folders that I use for my business was completely gone, it came back later.

good but trick to set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This a good value compared to other public cloud services, but it's a pain to install and set share files with other users, it would be so much better if it had an interface of dropbox where you install the app and can see your files remotely on windows explorer.

Works for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first plugged in the drive and started to go through the install wizard it couldn't find my drive on my network. Having read previous reviews and knowing installation was a big problem for others I called Customer Service right away. They led me through the install process and found the issue. I haven't had any issues since. I use it primarily as a backup for family photos and videos. All my cell phone pictures/videos get uploaded immediately upon coming into wifi and long distant relatives can view them with ease.

Great product!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im a photographer that wanted this mostly for a back up for photos. It's worth the extra few bucks to get this one compared to the other without wifi already in it.

Pretty easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was told by salesperson it was drag and drop and easy to set up, however there were no instructions in or on the box so it was trial and error to get it going. It would be nice to have actual instructions clearly available by the manufacturer instead of having to do a Google search to find them. Aside from the initial set up hiccups and learning curve, we love this product.

Works but not as I expected.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn't have all of the features and abilities I thought it would out of the box like being able to connect it to a system to upload the files quickly. Everything must be done over the cloud, and it sure seems to get a lot of updates. If purchasing such device I'd recommend going with the mirrored version.

A great NAS for the price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Because of its price & spec, I decided to purchase this NAS hard drive for my home. Installation took about 20 minutes and was pretty straight forward. One of the best features is the ability to sync Time Machine / Backup automatically to the NAS. You never have to worry about forgetting to backup your data.
