    We use this as a home media server. It syncs with 3 PCs, 3 Android devices, 2 Apple devices, a Playstation, and a TV. We have not had any compatibility problems.

    Love this little device. Was fairly easy to get setup on my network. Love the ability to hang an additional USB device off it which is used for "replication" (think backup of main device drive). The device has quite a bit of useful functions as well as having the ability to work with a file and photo app on your idevice (think your personal Dropbox). All in all, I think this a very good buy so far (approximately 5-6 weeks in).

    Purchase this to set up my own cloud at home. If you are not above average at setting these type of thing up, it can be difficult. Wd have videos on their website and YouTube have several others who share instructions that helps. Good to have.

    Personal Cloud, safe, no monthly fees, but When you update any file direct to MyCloud, the HD doesnt update the same file on your PC.

    I bought this so I can now access any of my personal files even when im not at home. I like the features of showing my freinds photos that i would not normally store on my ipad or iphone. I can also retreive other documets like word or excel files etc....

    I had to re-format once as I had experimented with many of the tools available. It would be 100% better if there was some written documentation (user manual) with it or easily accessible on the drive. The companies web site is very slow at times.

    The drawback is upload speed - it takes a while to load my files via wifi to My Cloud. But there is actually an USB connection to My Cloud which I have not tried yet and I imagine upload will be much faster with direct connection.
