Some annoying features -- Synology better
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ex2 Ultra is a good entry level NAS. It is relatively easy to set up and use. But after a while I found some things about it to be annoying so I replaced it with a Synology 2 bay NAS DiskStation DS218j + 2 WD 3TB 3.5" drives. The Synoogy NAS is also relatively easy to set up but the terminology is a bit different to that used by WD so a bit of a learning curve. The two things that annoyed me the most about the WD NAS was its UI startup time and lack of scheuled back-up (which a Linux geek could probably get around). The WD NAS seemed to want to caculate the disk compacity every time you started the UI and it took a minute or so to do that (the more stuff on the disk the more time it took to start). The WD UI compared to the Synology UI is klunky. The latter acts more like a standard desktop the former more like a web site. If you have an extra bit of dosh the Synology, IMO, is a better product.

Great Low Maintenance Backups
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this based on a friend's recommendation and after reading reviews. It's lived up to my expectations. My main uses for it are backing up my computers at home while also using my own personal cloud to access documents while I am away from home. It's great having peace of mind knowing my computers are being backed up and the convenience of my own cloud is great. Setup was ok, I got hung up on a few things but all in all I recommend it.

Steppped it up!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm coming from owning two my cloud drives, I've had then now for almost 4years, and they work great but interface and downloads were getting slow. I was looking at other alternatives but at the price this can't be beat since it includes the drives and comes ready to go out of the box with very little else required on your part.

Installed as Backup on Local Network
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was very easy to set up and handles the backup of workstations on a local network with ease. I am not using WD's backup, but works great.
