I outgrew my 2TB Device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used a WD 2TB network drive to store my photos and docs for 4 years. I finally outgrew it. So I upgraded to the 4TB drive. I would never consider anyone but WD for my data storage. It's a great device and access via the cloud app makes it so useful.

Loved it...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.... 4TB is as much storage as it used to be. Returned it unopened and ended up buying a bigger WD MyCloud product that uses the same user interface. You'll love this. Easy to set up. Good intuitive application design. Fairly compact size, and slick appearance. The WD tech support is great when you get a really good rep. They're like doctors...you may need to get a second or third opinion by calling back in. But they're responsive and courteous.

Great Customer Service
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item to stream my music library to Bose Soundtouch system. During the initial set up I experienced a couple issues I needed help in resolving. I used Western Digital customer service. They patiently walked me through to resolution. No problems since.

Does its job well

Personal Cloud
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as expected. I like the management interface but it seems to lack the ability to move folders around. That would be my only con.

Great NAS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great addition to my home network. Allows me to transfer large files quickly. I can edit video directly from the drive with no lag time. This drive goes into standby mode when not in use and the spin up time is minimal. I would purchase another one!

Product works great, user manual deficient
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had somewhat a trouble following the initial instruction and had to call the tech support group which is in Costa Rica. they are helpful but the tone of their voice is full of attitude which I almost told them what they can do with their product

Good personal cloud device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If this item had a on/off switch it would be hard to beat. The only way to turn it off is to disconnect it from the power supply.

Terrible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super hard to set up. No instructions or trouble shooting guide. Have spent hours on the phone trying to get it set up correctly no I fear priceless photos are lost as aneeded employee tries to sync everything. I wish I had never bought this, but to unplug and attempt to return, they tell me all my photos will be lost. A photographers nightmare!
