    Hard Drive works great, no complaints with WD. Microsoft is different story. Can't install like you used to be able to, which makes it a little harder to use.

    It's so nice to have a reliable back up system. So easy to setup and have all computers and cell phone connect to it and back up to it.

    This is a great drive. I am forever needing something from my home system when I travel. Log in and get it. Take a picture on your phone and its backed to home.

    Fun storage Device - Great Media Server

    The device set up easily. I used Plex and one of my PCs for the software/media server. This has been a good addition to my network. It's fast -- I don't notice a large difference between local or network loads, and I think the small delay is the wireless, not the drive. I am not experienced in Media Servers, and I may not have the best setup. I used Plex as the software and the combination is seamless. If there is something better, I'd love to know what it is.

    this drive was purchased for a local networked backup drive, which has extra features not needed (like cloud access) but is missing wd’s backup software which seems to no longer be available. wd recommends using windows built-it backup, which the home version doesn’t actually backup to a network drive. if using this drive for simple backup, it also has an overly elaborate setup process via apps and accounts (mainly for the cloud access). it appeared this new drive was to replace a previous model wd cloud drive, but it really isn’t similar in available features and software.

    I wanted to host some 4k movies on my plex. This wouldnt transcode the movies. Just didn't have enough juice to do it. . But worked flawless for 1080 movies.

    The cloud is extremely easy to set up and connect. The only issue I had initially was setting up a second user as it didn’t help me double confirm their password.

    Purchased for a firm I deal with but removed it because it is really a home based unit. You Crete an account and give access to it. I was hoping it would act and a NAS device. It does not.
