    This device is convenient but it is slow copying and deleting. It also has rotating devices inside which does not make big deference between wired devices.

    This was working great for 2-3 years and then all of a sudden it crashed 5 days ago for no reason. My Cloud tech support not able so far to get it restarted even with loss of all my data. I WOULD NOT TRUST THIS AS A BACK UP DEVICE SINCE I LOST ALL MY DATA. You'd have to backup the backup. Not cool.

    Serves its purpose. Kind of a pain to configure across platforms (i.e. Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS). Working my way through it however. Overall satisfied.

    Good concept, needs more functionality

    If used solely for your own network this should work great. Transferring my files to the drive over my wireless connection was slow, but ran much better when I plugged my Ethernet cable in (typical of any network). Allowing access to the drive over USB would be helpful as well and allow for more versatility. Sharing files with others via URL does not work well; files have to be downloaded one-by-one with no option of mass download or downloading a folder of files.
