Easy access to your files.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love having my very own cloud drive storage device to keep files on so I don't have to move a thumb drive from one computer to another, and I love having access to those files from my phone or tablet. Wish I had purchased this a long time ago.

Slow Plex server transfer speeds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't recommend this product if you're going to use it as a Plex server, you can't transcode, and if you're going to use it with Plex amp, you can expect about 5mb/s when streaming from it. If that's good enough for you for example if you have mp3 music files you'll be all set with 5mb/s.

Best value for money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No other option in this price range to setup a home backup system over WiFi. Having a ethernet port for backup makes it possible to connect directly to wifi router.

Risky
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like WD and after 8 days it was great. Very easy to use w the app however when it failed to connect to the WiFi via Ethernet cable, it went downhill. Called them and they said only way to possibly fix was to do a hard reset and loss all my pictures. There’s no way to extract the pictures. If it happens to fail and disconnect or doesn’t connect at all, you are at risk at losing your pictures. Started great, now I lost lots of family pictures. Maybe reconsider or look at others. The concept is nice but I’ll look for a brand that can have a solution to recover data should the only way to access it, WiFi, goes down. Best of luck

Great Media Sever for Plex
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this item for the sole purpose of using it as a media server for Plex. The installation instructions were easy to follow and I had it set up in minutes. The only con is that it takes a lot of WiFi bandwidth during the transfer process unless you are savvy enough to know how to change LAN settings or are willing to purchase transfer cables.
