    There are some folks that mention something about compatibility with windows 10. There are various tutorials out there that show you how to easily create a network to save from your pc to the my cloud. I did it in 3 minutes and loving how I can drag and drop my files to the cloud. The app is easy to use and really like the share option. My wife and I can easily upload and download all our videos. So far, I really like my purchase.

    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.

    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.

    I bought this to replace a old WD NAS that finally became obsolete, but had a very good experience with. The user experience is actually better, with great access from my PC or phone. It's quick, on my home network, I have any delay for most files, and reasonable for large files. It's actually surprisingly quick on the phone using cellular internet. I like the large drive space for the price point, highly recommend.

    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..

    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.
