I love the Western Digital products and this is a good product. You can put the hard drives in yourself.

Seems like a nice unit but I can not get the DLNA server to work although it did work with my now deceased My Cloud until it had a hard drive death.
WD is providing support but after three days of effort: no success so far.
:-(.

I ended up returning this enclosure after reading other reviews about this only working with the propriety software. I only wanted an nas enclosure for my home network, have to look elsewhere.

WD EX2 Ultra NOT RECOMMENDED

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Serveral reasons: (1) doesn't use an easily removal caddy (plastic or metal) for the drives; (2) attaching side screws are only at the top, and not both top and bottom; (3) use of a screwed-in flashing to prevent the drives from moving should be used in conjunction with the disk caddies; (4) creation of a web-based file share is very awkward; (5) file sharing in general is cumbersome and difficult to setup; (6) no power button/switch - relies entirely with plugged into NAS assembly; (7) no shutdown function provided; (8) limited number of applications available; (9) majority of the so-called "free" applications either require a subscription, or a paid license; (10) customization of installed applications is cumbersome and awkward; (11) reset and/or factory function(s) take far too long than other NAS manufacturers; (12) RAID with no spanning capability; and (13) limited amount of memory, nor is memory upgradeable. Compared to other NAS manufacturers (Synology, QNAP, Buffalo), WD's capabilities are very limited. Would NOT recommend said "NAS" device.

I’m sure the device is great,
The only reason I’m giving it a one star is because the my cloud app wasn’t compatible, which made the device utterly useless. I returned it. The app wasn’t working with the device. I blame the app.

Cons mentioned:
Drive compatibility

Was warned about this product, not simple at all. You have down load updates and even more updates. Way to much to go through and my drives didn't work well with.

This thing is very confusing to setup. And this is coming from someone who is computer savvy. I couldn't get the remote access setup no matter how many times I followed the directions and reset the device. I returned it and went with something simpler and less time consuming to setup.
