Rating: - excellent backup
I am not sure I understand the advantage of the WDAnywhere software, but once you wade through the instructions you realize you can install this without ever installing the WD software. Straightforward setup allows you to use this as a RAID 1 disc array, removing some concerns for backing up data. Easy to setup (if you have some level of networking knowledge) and (so far) reliable. Backup software is basic to say the least - but it works....
Rating: - Stay away from this piece of junk
I've had this for a few months now. The installation was reasonably easy, and I have the same complaints about mionet that everyone else has. However, the device simply goes offline intermittently for no reason. When this happens the front on/off switch also stops responding so the only way to reset it is to unplug and the plug it back in. Now it is useless to me as a backup or storage device. My only actions of recourse now are to return the unit or find another SATA NAS enclosure and use the drives ... Read More
Rating: - Very poor option. zero stars if I could
I had this unit a year and have never been satisfied. My goal was to have a common backup location for everyone on my LAN to share The unit always was very slow when reading or writing. More importantly recently I had one of the two hard drives fail . Should have been no problem since I was using RAID to mirror drives. WD did send out a replacement within a few days however after a lot of go arounds with WD tech support it turns out the second drive was also corrupted . I lost a tremendous amount ... Read More
Rating: - This drive is a piece of junk
I have had this hard drive for several years. I returned the first one I bought because I could not get my computer to recognize the drive after I connected it up. Thinking it was a bad drive, I exchanged it for another one and this time after much effort, I was able to make my computer recognize the drive. Since my OS was the new Vista at the time, I attributed my problems to a faulty driver. However, after running this external hard drive for several years, I find the drive runs very hot and then the ... Read More
Rating: - Six months? That's it?
This hard drive was storing thousands of family photos, some as from as far back as the late 1800s. The photo library I entrusted to this piece of junk included parents, grandparents, great-grandparents... family from around the world.
I'd been scanning them for years, making repairs to the oldest and storing them all.
And six months after I got it, it died. EVERYTHING GONE.
In a panic, I did a search for any of the pictures I'd lost... and found them all on another ... Read More
