    Easy setup but transfer from my old one took a long time. Not to bad though.

    Easy to set up and use. I back up my phone, desktop computer, and laptop computer all to this device. I also use it for storage of things I really don't want to lose, but don't want to have to rely on Internet access for. My only regret was not spending a bit more to get more capacity. I didn't know I'd use it so much.

    Used this to replace my Seagate Central. The disc works as said but intermittently I have had slow downs with transfer rate. When installed, it opens a Public network connection that is pretty much useless. Use the mapped drive it creates instead. Plex has been challenging to work with. Even with DLNA enabled it took days to sync up my media. And it always asks for premium subscription. What’s that nonsense. The drive just got updated and seems to be better since. Will see how it goes or it may end up back to the store.

    Limited Customization Options

    Disappointed with the setup of this drive. Settings options are very limited. You cannot assign an IP within the drive or change the name of the drive. Also there are top-level folders that cannot be removed and the names can't even be changed. And the only top-level folders that can be added are one for each "user" assigned to the drive. I've used WD external drives for years and they were always very customizable. I'm using it since network capable drives are just about non-existent, but I wouldn't have purchased it if I'd known how poor the setup functions are.

    Bought this to store all our files and pictures and videos. We have over 35000 pictures and over 90 gigs of videos and all of our taxes and files forn20 years. We moved them all which took a few days and still have over more than half left. The transfer rate is not that fast and if you have numerous folders in a folder transfer 1 at a time or it gets hung up. But great and everyone is able to access even while at college.

    It's very easy to use. The best is that you can share a public folder over the network and have private space and access from everywhere.
