    • Setup worked fine, and it showed up, but the damn thing is SLOW SLOW SLOW when it comes to transferring files
    • Very easy setup (although a bit troublesome to set up afterwards)
    • Setup was reasonably easy although not very intuitive; there's a website you are directed to for instructions etc
    • The setup is easy on windows and android phone/tablet.
    • easy setup except of the cloud had to be with tech support for hrs then herd to clean and reboot the drive
    • Horrible setup guide
    • Setup was reasonably easy although not very intuitive; there's a website you are directed to for instructions etc
    • Pros:- Setup was easy- Connects reliably to Mac and
    • easy setup; the speed can reach 40M/S through LAN connect, but the remote access speed is a bit poor.a bit hot, the room temperature is about 25, not F;the shipping package is only a plastic bag, without no additional protection.
    • The software was okay to install, but the setup and use is a pain specially the online access
    • I hooked it up properly -- even though the setup is cumbersome and unclear -- and can access it directly while sitting in my office hardwired by LAN.
    • Fast and simple to setup
    • The setup is pretty easy although I have not had any success with getting the mobile app for you phone to allow you to move stuff back and forth from your phone.
    • The setup is very easy and to be able to simply setup folders for friends and control access per person is a good option
    • The worst review was "Great Drive, Bad Setup"
    • Initial setup was a major pain and was not helped by poor instructions
    • Easy setup
    • As much as I would love the idea of a wireless hard drive setup, this device makes it practically impossible to consider it
    • Initial setup was a breeze.
    • Easy setup and no problems working.
    • If I am a thief looking to steal identities, this would seem to offer one of the better setups: backups of multiple computers into a Public folder on a central device that has no security, no encryption and almost assuredly is located in plain sight.
    • I would not call this an easy setup or use
    • You would think for the bad setup alone a star or two would be taken off but because it was a Vine review the product still somehow was given 5 stars
    • Setup is incredibly easy
    • Setup was absurdly easy, and now this NAS is backing up mine and my roommates Macs in the house, as well as serving our PS3 and Apple TV's (through an app on my iPad :-( ) with tasty iTunes media content
    • works as described, easy setup and access
    • Setup was easy and performance has been consistent
    • whereas before the best I could achieve was ~10-13mb/s and sometimes worse
    • I had read numerous reviews panning the upload speed, and I experienced 1.5 MB/s, which was in line with what I expected (but agonizingly slow when you're putting up digital copies of movies at 1-2GB a pop)
    • n’t loose on it.
    • With the first failure I lost 2plus T of data that I can not replace
