After a week, I finally got around to setting up my Western Digital My Cloud EX2 Ultra device. Fortunately, the installation of my drive was flawless. Now, I am trying to learn how to put all of the administrative settings in place for myself and my users. There are a lot of user options to choose from and this appears at this point to be a good thing. I am just going to take my time in learning all that we can do with this device.

We us ours primarily for storing all of our video files. We are able to access them easily and quickly through the network and do not have to use up valuable storage on our computers for the video. It works great as long as you are on the network. The apps for accessing data from off site work, but are clumsy.

It worked very well so far. I back up my photos I have taken on my cell phone onto this family server automatically. It is very convenient.

As the title says, it was very easy to set up and get started. I have 3 computers backing up to it and I'm backing up photos and videos. The initial backup took a long time since it was a lot of stuff, but accessing it is quick and easy. Exactly what I needed.

I have been a loyal Western Digital buyer for many years. Recently they stopped supporting my old cloud drive, so I decided to get this one as a replacement. I have been impressed so far. Setup and copying data was a little time consuming, but that is to be expected. Can be a little loud when saving data.

Setup was easy. No problems getting it to connect and easy to store data on. Backup of iPhone is made really easy in the app. Adding movies was easy. And can see movies on all smart TVs in my house.

Good drive for backups. It’s not very fast but it was easy to setup and has been reliable for few months now

My wife and I store millions of pictures. This was the best investment we've made to safe keep our precious memories.

We wanted to be able to backup our music collection, photos and other documents from our 2 computers but we didn't want to use "the cloud". This was perfect! It was easy to set up, took about 15 minutes. It's set to backup once a week - no problems so far. It's small and quiet, we forget it's there - but feel great knowing it's there. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking to backup their important files without having to rely on "the cloud".

Excellent home NAS - easy to setup and use. Transfer read/write speed is great, media serving too, can access my media from my TV, PS3, Roku.

Great basic home NAS with RAID. Easy setup and operation.

So this thing is great... if I could just get it to STAY connected. I am not tech savvy but need to be able to back up large files. Small, compact, lightweight. Cool little guy

So glad I purchased. This serves as my music server. It has Plex pre-installed and I use Symfonium on Android to stream. It's perfect. Plus serves as a picture backup for my wife and I. Easy access so we can both see the pictures each other takes. Very easy setup.

Easy to setup. Easy to use. Data available where I need it

If you are looking for fast reliable storage for your computer back ups you can't go wrong with this Western Digital NAS. I've used plenty of manufactures from both professional down to consumer and this was the easiest setup I have ever had with a NAS!

Great for small business. Takes a little getting used to with how you set up, but watch the YouTube videos and it is pretty ease to map the drives. From there, it works perfectly.

Works well, it has been reliable while I have used it and not problems. Software is a little clunky, but not bad. Not many options, which is part of what I like… it is well designed for intended use.

Great NAS. Fast . Easy to setup. East to access. Would recommend.

Had a 4 TB EX2 since March 2014 with great performance and results and excellent WD customer support. Ultra version exceeds the 2014 version in almost every aspect on my local network, and personal Cloud access on Samsung Android devices, as well as Samsung Smart TVs, Denon and Marantz devices on our local Neatgear Nighthawk 3200 network.

I haven’t had it long enough to know exactly how to use it but learning fast. Good purchase. 1080p video stuffers on playback using mid tear fiber optic plan. I don’t know if faster internet will fix the problem or not.
