Meh, It's a hassle to set up.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For what it is it's great. I just needed something to free up my laptop stat. This isn't plug and play. It should state on the box that it's can't be connected to the computer like a normal external for lazy people like me that don't read manuals. I might get this again when I have time to go thru the hassle of setting it up for the wireless features. I bought and returned two of these before realizing that it only works connected to the modem not your computer.

WD MyCloud 4 TB
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device is awesome. Spent extra cash & got 4 TB. Well worth it. I added an additional 2 Tb USB 3 and it is now 6 TBs and is awesome. This thing rocks and then software is excellent. One last thing that I am trying to figure out is getting status when my son uploads through the Internet. I also use a media box and DLNA and stream directly form this device. It rocks. The only issue I have had recently has nothing to do with this device but concerns me that Tine Warner may throttle my internet connection when the device is being used through the Internet sometimes. I have no proof that TW is throttling me, but it seems coincidental.

Good cloud backup for home business
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a backup device for multiple computers, and wanted some to work virtually regardless of physical location - which strongly suggested a cloud solution. This seems to be a good fit, so we'll see over time if that proves right.

Great product for the money

Currently transferring our DVD collection over to it so I can stream movies anywhere in the house and while i'm on the road. Not to mention it works great for automatic back ups for our computer :)

Easy home cloud storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My brother-in-law bought one of these for his home network and liked it so much that I decided to get one for mine. Installation and configuration was pretty easy, though the initial backup of both laptops took 2 days to complete since they are wireless and the drive is connected directly to the router. So far it's work like a charm, but I know I haven't optimized its use yet.

Ease of setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had my doubts as to how well this hard drive would work, as my previous hard drive was difficult to setup, and stopped working two weeks after I purchased it. I am pleased with this particular hard drive.

Quick and easy setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After realizing that Dropbox was clogging my uplink syncing several devices, a local option for consolidation and backup was needed. Setup on the ad was painless and fast. So far - no issues at all.

I've been waiting for this for years!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the way it works, but getting it set up is confusing. It is also not clear whether it needs to be explicitly started on each computer when the computer is turned on. It would seem not, but it's hard to tell. It's particularly hard since the back-up structure is not "transparent" like looking at Windows Explorer would be. The fact that it allows me to set up directories where I CAN explicitly store files is nice. The USB port for another drive is great.
