Can't go wrong with Western Digital
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This saved my butt when my Seagate NAS lost a drive and I needed a good storage unit to backup my music (36k songs) so that I could, safely, replace the bad drive. It's now being used as a redundant drive. It was easy to set up and, so far, works perfectly. I have another WD Cloud storage that has been working flawlessly for several years now.

Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our time capsule finally gave up the ghost and after some trial and error with other options, we settled on the My Cloud Home 4TB.

Easy Set Up, Great Price Point, Large Capacity
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device solves so many backup, synch and storage access issues! Finally a NAS that is easy to use, affordable to buy; and, uses the latest technology packaged in a very good looking device. Dual drives on a RAID ensures local redundancy. Accessibility of files from any Internet-connected device with secure log-in. A great personal cloud enabled NAS. I certainly recommend this device.

Much better for Apple than Seagate
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a time machine compatible hard drive and first tried Seagate! According to their website it was compatible with the proper setup. I followed their setup to the letter and when time capsule went to set it up, the whole hard drive froze up. Took it back and got this. Everything installed very smoothly. Backs up happen automatically now like they should for 3 computers..

Great for Setting up as a Plex server.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this. I used it to set up a Plex account and it was ready to go right out of the box. As far as setting up your own server goes, western digital really makes it simple. Mine came with a free 3 month Plex trial as well! I have this Ethernet plugged into my Eero mesh network (non pro version) with the cable it came with and everything has been working great.

WD - My Cloud Home 4TB Personal Cloud - White
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was super easy to install and is fantastic. I can backup my phone from anywhere and other devices, such as my computer. It's a great way to keep the amount of information stored on my actual devices to a minimum, which is helpful with a digital design business. I loved it so much that I also got one for my mom who does embroidery work for all her files.

Easy Setup and Very Convenient
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My mother in law bought this product to house family pictures and files. The setup was very simple to do and it is very straight forward to share files with family and friends. The feature to setup as a cloud drive that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via the app or desktop platform is a stress free option. I do not have a reference point to prior versions of the WD My Cloud or My Cloud Home.
