I purchased this as a way to store several of my files in one place and so I could easily access them. So far I've only encountered two potential issues. The first one is that each of the two drives are 3TB for a total of 6TB instead of two 6TB drives. If you run the drives as a RAID MIRROR then you'll only be able to use 3TB total. The second issue is the fact that I attempted to change the IP address for the drive and it subsequently caused other issues. Because of this, I reset the drive and left it as a dynamic IP instead of static.

I purchased this because online reviews mentioned having UI friendly assistance for non-advanced users and my spouse needs easy backup features or otherwise the data will never be backed up (and then it doesn't get deleted because she doesn't trust the back up, which why i decided to go with the Mirror model so there are two copies of everything.) It took me weeks to finally get all my old data backups up on this drive. My tech is a few years old (Mac OS 10.7.5) and almost all the recommended software was not available. I could not just drag and drop large quantities of files or folders without there being problems so files and small folder sets were transferred individually.. The browser UI is really slow and it is difficult to figure out the real status with the device. For example, the LEDs will say everything is fine but it will not be reachable. This has stand-by mode, but never seems to wake up from it properly if at all so I have to unplug it sometimes. It got worse once by unplugging the power and plugging it back on to make it reachable and then automatic rebuilding occurred and slowed everything down to a halt for days. However, once I did get the backups over, and hooked up automatic backups with the cells phones, it was neat to be able to see each other pictures show up for central access via the My Cloud app. TimeMachine appears to work well as long as the drives stay up and reachable. The fans pretty much consistently run, and are loud, unless it is turned off/stand-by mode. I am crossing my fingers that when my tech is upgraded the newer software for this will be much better and fix some of my useability problems.

Great product easy to set up and manage. Recommended for large files

I look forward to accessing this device from the internet. But I have had some problems with installing the Quickbooks database, and getting my iTunes to reside there. It is important that I can use Apple TV to listen to my music, so this is a bit of a challenge. I am not quite finished with the installation yet.

I bought for my home use and it works great and I will definitely recommend to my friends.
