    Slim, doesn't take up much space. Comes in white so it doesn't stand out too much.

    I placed this in my safe for private and safe personal backup. I actually store almost everything on there instead of my computer. I followed instructions on the Amazon review site for this and it has been very reliable. I am pleased.

    the device is very stable and it s great to have a local storage that you can access online but the system is so slow to access even with ethernet cable. performance is so poor that is difficult to store big files and impossible to use for videos because of the speed.

    Mobile app for device kept getting error codes. Was not able to access device unless plugged into computer. Could not access the my cloud from other devices on my network. Should have read the online reviews for the mobile app before I purchased it. Everyone else seemed seemed to have the same problem.

    I read reviews regarding this model and competing products. The features are outstanding, price is reasonable compared to similar products, and it was easy for me to use - that's what sold me on it!
