Good product, could have been a great product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price for what your getting. Setup was very easy, but the user interface need more work. This device should have bridged the gap between previous models. Meaning, even tho it a personal cloud i should be able to remotely access said device from anyone of my network attached devices without having to have the WD Discovery App installed. So as a waring this is just a "BACKUP Device", nothing else.

Fast and easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really easy to install and easy to use. I connected mine to the router per the instructions and within a few minutes I was able to drag all my large files over, or run a backup. It does sometimes run slow with too many files but that's a wifi issue and not a problem with this product.

Just Know what you're buying here
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hate that it's more cloud based than physical but setup was easy and it looks good. Very fast and works well but like most cloud stuff if you delete it from you comp, its gone...

Great Option for Small Businesses
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The My Cloud Home personal cloud-based system is a great option for small businesses to share and store information. I would highly recommend this as an option if you're running out of space on your work computers/laptops (it's a much cheaper option). I also own a My Cloud system at home too. My family and I use it to back up our devices, including videos and pictures.

4TB personal cloud.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a good device to plug in the office or at home but it has to have an Internet connection and use a proprietary app to access and/or transfer files. It does not have a plug for the PC to access files directly, which I didn't like. It also uses a HDD (hard drive), which has much slower read/write speeds than a SSD. It does looks very esthetic though.

Better Than the Old Model
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my new WD- My Cloud Home with OS5. The old WD - OS3 - is no longer supported by WD. This model was easy to install and add my important papers. I could not transfer the data from the old WD to the new WD because I don't have enough ports to accomplish the job. Otherwise, it should be easy.

Good, but not for me, and not for running plex
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.But this to run Plex it has a Plex server, but it disconnects from time to time, and it doesn’t allow you to choose what folder or different folders to add. Your Faussett only add one fell at a time, which is very limited, so if you plan on running Plex stay away from this item, but at least it gives you your own hard drives

Great way to have external stirage
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got tired of backing up my files to portable hard drives so I gave this a try. So far it’s been great. I love being able to access my files easily from all my devices and transferring files from likewise. Set up was easy and so far I’ve had no issues with connections. I’m nowhere close to filing this up even with a large amount of jpeg and video files.
