    Great system. Easy setup. Wish the transfer speeds were better, but the reliability is worth it.

    WD has gone downhill these past few years. Their products have become less customizable and now I will no longer use them. I did use this at work for a while and because of the changes to their OS I can no longer use in the manner in which I need. It will work for most home users. The drive quality has also declined as WD drives are crashing more and more on me.

    Is good to be able to access your data on the go. It does duplicate your backed up photos several times for some reason which I find really annoying.

    Does good with Plex. Don't expect direct file share access. Not possible. All file transfers are done with the app giving you a mapped drive letter. Direct access would be a plus and not able to assign a static IP would give it 5 stars. Just to note - This is just a review of the device. Not a reflection of BestBuy.

    This drive is spacious enough for backing up several computers. And does it through the network.

    While the device worked as expected for the accessing/storing files, the purpose of the purchase was to use with Time Machine. That was an utter failure. One laptop never had a successful backup and the other one would complete and a day later start over. This was over a two week period. The product was returned
