    So far so good I bought it to replace the previous version that had reached EOL. Don’t like that I have to use WD website to access a device that’s on my own network

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Easy to Use and Useful to Have

    Easy to set up! Handy to use! I bought this as a way to centralize all my media files across many devices, all my flash drives, and all my external drives through the years. Set up was remarkably simple. It started to consume and organize my files immediately. I just literally sat back and watched. Then I started connecting USB devices, and let it do its thing. Now I can organize my collections with my phone or tablet from anywhere. Bored waiting at the Dr's office? Work on adding notes or organizing new folders. Someone asks to see a pic from ___? Open your mobile device and there it is. HIGHLY recommended.

    Very convenient when you need to backup files and you are not at home and are not able to carry around a external hard drive. Or even a flash drive.

    Not pleased with this purchase. This network cloud drive did not perform as advertised. It was slow. It failed almost just shortly after one year of operation.

    (Almost) Perfect for a home Plex device

    This drive works really well right out of the box, and includes the option of installing the Plex server on it. My only complaint is there's no way to assign a static IP address to the device... you have to handle that with your home router.

    'Your lack of features is disturbing'

    This WD product is easy to setup. However, you have no customization options for advanced users (ex: cannot shell into device AND cannot configure/modify network adapter). Need to be connected to the Internet in order to use the NAS on your LAN ..... This NAS is very noisy with netcons to WD and CDN's (out of the box). If this NAS was customizable for advanced use, I would have been happy with the purchase. Older WD "My Book Live" had more customization than this.

    Only took 10 minutes to set up. Easily connected to my network and set up. Previous models would take forever to mount and set up. The new software makes it very easy to use. The style is really nice too.
