Decent NAS Solution
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great for network storage. Quick and easy access when you need it. The built in Plex server was basically useless since the onboard CPU can't handle encoding the files for various devices. Simple solution was to have the server on my computer but point it to the NAS for the files. I have not had a chance to try it's dropbox function or cloud access.

Wonderful network drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a device to replace an older 2TB network drive - I store all my movies and music on a network cloud so i can do away with having to deal with discs and so i can watch/listen on any device anywhere. Wasn't sure how well this was going to work and how easy it would be to set up... Let's just say the "hardest part" was determining what raid configuration I went with...lol Movies loaded, music loaded - MUCH faster than my older 2TB Cloud, both in initial connectivity as well as on playback...no need to buffer anything. Definitely great to not have deal with discs at all and even better now that I know I have about 3TB to grow into. Absolutely ZERO regrets.

Great product. Quite, easy to configure and use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this device to store my photos and movies. It was very easy to configure and use. I even use the cloud app in my phone to access photos and documents from anywhere. I even use plex media server as an attempt to stream media in my TV and it works great.

So Far So Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this to be a backup in our small office. From other reviews, I thought this would be easy enough to setup myself....I was wrong. We had to hire the Geek Squad to come out and really get this backup to work properly. There seems to be a few quarks in where it is saving the backups, but we seem to be correcting those with a little bit of effort. Overall its a great backup and worth the money.

A solid entry level NAS.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned this for several years and use it for regular file based replication backups over the network. The configuration is largely set and forget it, I've never had the public share that the NAS sits on my network drop for any reason, and to date, I've experienced no data loss. A solid entry level NAS.

Serves purpose
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using the item to back up family photos and it is working well thus far. The transfer speed is a bit slower than I expected but am not sure if this is due to my wireless network or the storage device. Although cloud access is not important to me, one drawback I noticed is that you can’t copy folder structures via the cloud interface. You can only drag and drop folder structures when accessing the device from your home network.

Second unit for remote backups
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a second unit to setup remote backups for my first EX2 ultra. Works like a charm using the built in utilities, this gives me redundancy for all my data on a second EX2.

Does the job well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy so far, I would caution if you’re planning on using this at least partially for a Plex server the on board cpu/RAM isn’t powerful enough to convert video on the fly so probably best to convert it beforehand to the compatible format.
