Great Drive for home use. Easy to setup and start uploading information immediately. WD MY cloud app useful and versatile. Much more user friendly that Seagate Personal Cloud. Heard it could also run PLEX media server but don't use it for that purpose currently.

Overall, the price was right for what you get.
The fact that you can add more memory to the back of the device is what ultimately sold me.
For the most part, I've been able to download/upload my files with ease.

Nice to be able to access files remotely and it has plenty of space. Worth the price. It's not hard to use but could be much more user friendly. The app can be very slow at times. Customer support is not good.

This NAS storage device works well when streaming content at home or externally. device comes with free IOS and Android app, and can also be connected to remotely with installed software on PC or MAC.
The device can be automatically detected by most DLNA enabled hardware (my ps3 adn smart tv were able to see the drive almost immediately)
This device also has an onboard usb port for chaining in a secondary usb stick or harddrive for more storage or transfer of files as needed.

I got this as a Christmas gift. I am the "Magiver" of external storage. My wife knows I carry a lot of jump drives so, she thought this would be perfect. And she was right! I can access all my files anywhere in the world! I can even have a folder in there for friends to send/receive files as well. This saves me time and having to carry around several drives. Great too if you forget something on your laptop. Just sign in & grab it!
It's extremely quiet too and its speed is pretty decent.

I needed something fairly cheap and easy to replace as my storage needs grow but could still give me good performance. I decided to get this for storing media for streaming purposes. It has a transfer rate of about 100 mb/s to my wired primary desktop. It also works great as a storage drive for Plex, I am able to stream uncompressed 1080p movies wirelessly without any buffering.

If you are looking at using the cloud for storing pictures or files then you need to look at My Cloud. A personal storage center for your whole family to use without putting personal data out in some data center across the country.

I bought it just to have my own Cloud instead of using virtual Cloud from third party company. Its easy to setup just follow the instructions. Right now I have an compatibility issue from JAVA. Since I updated my iOS to Maverick. I can not access it thru my MAC when let say I'm in a different place. That's the point why I bought this, to access my files wherever I am. Hoping that Java will have the patch on this issue sooner. Not happy right now!

I purchase a 3 TB and may pick up another one. Price was great ! And I do a lot of video editing, upload a lot of sports videos and space is no longer a problem anymore. More space than I need and 1 more will be my back up.

The back up and storage capabilities are great once I got the user guide figured out. It took some searches on Google to bring it down to my level. I suppose if you are very techie, it is probably a no-brainer.

Bought this because my wife doesn't know how to delete anything from her computer, and her HD was filling up fast. Easy to set up. Mid-range transfer speeds. Not a bad product for first time home cloud storers.

product works great and is very convenient when I need to back up my photos on my phone iPad etc. I wouldn't recommend this if you were going to stream full movies though unless you have an amazing router

I decided to try this model for storage and was a bit concerned with access speed but the drive has been quit reliable. I think this is a simple but powerful tool and very reasonably priced for what it offers.
