    I bought this with high expectations and I think it still has room for improvement. It works ok but needs to be easier to use. I had to call for support twice due to different issues. My suggestion before you buy is to reasearch it first. I would still have bought it but just know that its not perfect.

    Connected to all my Apple devices easily. Was up and running in a matter of 5 minutes. works good for backups and central storage. Is a little too slow for streaming HD. Initial backups took 2 days. If it was faster, it would be almost perfect. I say almost because it locked up once and required a re-boot.

    Initial setup while transferring data & pictures took a bit of time, after that everything has been done in the background. No worry all backed up.

    The drive allows me to access my files the way I need to gain access to them. Using the software that WD has created gives me the control to monitor who and what device has access to my drive.

    Love that this item is wireless!! Small and compact, yet has such a large amount of memory available. We were able to stow it under the couch and it's completely out of sight. Love it!!

    The drive failed, imprisoning all of my data.

    The Geek Squad could not access the "My Cloud" and said the files were "Probably" corrupted. I sent the drive to a professional data recovery firm and they recovered all of the data - for $1200. I don't know that I would recommend the My Cloud to anyone.

    Great storage device. Initially it would not backup without disabling my firewall. After assigning the MyCloud IP address to my firewall it worked like a charm.
