Good purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Really wanted it to be the solution
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to love this thing, here were my issues. Low transfer rates for upload and downloads. Constantly felt like I was being hacked, my xfinity was always blocking access from unknown threats or something wild. And it just seemed clunky. I ended up with a different NAS system

Easy set up, Fast data, & Great media streaming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Does its job.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Occasionally you buy a drive that seems to malfunction sooner than expected, but so far I've had no problems with this one. It is quiet. It is recognized every time I access it. Having it automatically back-up the first drive to its own second drive is why I use it, and it does that well. No complaints.

Great Unit Novice Setup

Anyone can install this on their own WiFi network and/or internet connection. Great place to store photos, movies and documents to free up space on your other devices.

Pretty good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pretty good product, but you expect that from WD. A slight problem mapping it from one machine but no problem from another. Not sure why. Overall though it has been stable and straight forward to use.

Works as expected. A bit noisy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as expected. My old My Cloud drive (which was outdated) came with some really nice (free!) backup software that this one did not. But I'm using Windows Backup, so its good enough. Its a bit noisy, so keep that in mind
