    personally, I would recommend upgrading your computer's ethernet card to a gigabit network adapter to make sure you don't end up waiting forever on transfers.

    This is a great network drive was I got the latest version of firmware for it. It's been working for the last 2.5 years. Just keep the firmware current.

    It may be user error, but when I first hooked it up, it worked fine. I bought it primarily for my daily back up which happens automatically. However, it is not backing up and not being recognized by computer. I'm a bit frustrated with it.

    Been using it for more than 2 years without an issue. Does what it is supposed to do. If you have lots of files on the drive, it may take very long time to scan. Be patient and let it completes the process.

    I have a WD my book live (older version) and it has been working well. I thought I'll give the new My cloud (newer NAS from WD) since it has a faster processor and reliable WD hard drive for NAS boxes. After multiple attempts at trying to get it connected to my network and spending hours with the CSR I gave up and had to return it. Hope WD works out the chinks since it seems like a promising product. On a side note, if anyone buys it and gets it to work please be sure to back up the data on the My cloud since the forums are filled with people who lost everything ones the firmware was updated. Also be sure to disable auto updates on the My cloud for the same reason.

    I expected this to be easy to use per the information I had researched. Unfortunately it would not stay connected to my computers. Their tech help did not offer me much assist except go tell me to call my router co and get their help. Well they wanted 125.00 to help me with my connection issue to the device. My computers stay connected to my internet so I'm not sure what the problems were with this. Needless to say I returned this device. Got a passport and am perfectly happy.
