• Reviews around unit (2.10 of 5)

    (OLD MODEL) Seagate Central 4TB Personal Cloud Storage NAS STCG4000100

    • The SC is simple to configure, has great instructions and is a very fast unit for the money.
    • -- I purchased this unit 4 months ago and unit outright failed after a few months, orange light on but no operation, cant read or write to it.
    • The 13 month old unit just stopped working
    • I ended up returning 2 defective cloud storage units
    • Finally, the unit does run somewhat warm, but it has a very well ventilated top.
    • The vendor was pretty much no help, they said the unit was bad and asked if I'd would you like them to recover my data for a fee.
    • I would expect most unfavorable reviews are the result of getting a bad unit, or one that fails quicker than it should
    • I can't recommend this unit as it comes from China and it has a backdoor access programmed into it
    • Basically this is one real bad piece of news, I am not a geek but at same time no blur noble to hardware, this unit will drive a pure consumer to violence on the said hardware.
    • 8%.I recommend not purchasing this unit.
    • I must say for the price I paid I am really starting to like the unit
    • No problem using the unit for my macbook's time machine back up - would like lights in front to tell me it's working.
    • I ended up having to rip the unit apart and spending a few days finding out how to recover my files
    • For one, if a hard drive fails, you are just looking at just the cost of replacing one hard drive and not a whole unit.
    • I do not like this unit because it cannot be attached directly to my computer
    • Unit gets very hot and stops working
    • I'd wager most of the failed units complained about here relate to this, and they're trivial to replace.
    • Initialized unit; Firmware Updated; created User; Replaced DHCP with Static IP - Unit has new IP.4
    • So even though the unit was easy to install, and the software was pretty good for viewing photos, I decided to return it based upon the IP address issue.
    • All in all, I would highly recommend this unit to anyone.
    • Unit has been working like a champ for me now for over a month.
    • Once past these quirks the unit runs well.
    • Sent advanced replacement unit under condition that I return the dead unit within 21 days or pay 180 dollars
    • This unit locked up and failed.
    • n’t loose on it.
    • With the first failure I lost 2plus T of data that I can not replace
