    Automatically connected to my smart tv for access to my 5 TB movie collection. Easy to install software from the site. Only negaitve is that when I called tech support before buying they indicated that I could teather together two of them which turned out to be false.

    WD has lived up to my expectations of them delivering an easy to use but relatively inexpensive Network Attached Storage with 6TB.

    I love this and I wish they can rewrite the mobile app so that users can be able to make music and video playlist.it takes a little time fo a music to start in the mobile app, reagardless your internet speed. The issue with this is the streaming app and that is why I rated this with 4 stars.

    We have very special photos and documents that we don't feel comfortable retaining on our laptops, this is a great alternative and opens up space on the laptops.

    Having Hi8 tapes converted to digital requires a lot of storage. Went with a WD external drive because of Western Digitals product reputation.

    When we first got the cloud, and tried to download our things, it took a very long time, but eventually it stored everything. It is easy to use and has lots of space.

    The my cloud drive is pretty cool. I can get to or save my files from anywhere. Just wish that it had a USB connection to plug into a computer for faster file transfers.

    I was very skeptical to get this, mostly worried about the performance and how difficult the setup would be. Happy to say it's been very easy to use, and for my purposes, performs just fine. Just don't think you are going to stream movies or view a lot of pics from it. It's good for storage, backup and for light multi-media usage.

    I could not get the ether net connecton working with it in a direct plug in to my computer but when I hooked the NAS directly to my wireless network router it worked like a charm. Note this device does not work with Linux and they should really develop some Linux software to make it work. Only works on Windows and the mac and you will have to install special software on your computerms to make it accessible. Overall it is a pretty good little unit good for doing backups note if you have terabytes of data expect for the backup to take around a week to do it.
