    WD 3TB My Cloud Personal Network Attached Storage - NAS - WDBCTL0030HWT-NESN

    • It's a great idea but the software and complicated set kills this product!
    • Don't get me wrong, the idea is cool and I don't regret my purchase
    • I like the idea but would never recommend this product
    • It might be a good idea to create an alias (shortcut) of this folder that you can paste into the sidebar so you don't have to navigate to it
    • Good idea for home use I would recommend that WD fixes the issues with this drive to protect their good reputation in the industry
    • I really love the idea of this personal cloud storage, and it does indeed do what it says it does, but from a software standpoint it's not yet all it could be.
    • That was a BAD idea
    • This seems like a great idea, just didn't work out for me
    • This product is a great idea, but it does not work as advertised
    • I returned it because while the idea is incredible the fact that it can only be accessed via wifi (even to my base computer where everything runs through) it makes uploading and accessing files very very slow

    • This product is a great idea, but it does not work as advertised
    • (Which you have to go into your router to find what IP it's been assigned unless you set it up for a static IP, not a bad idea, but that has it's own issues.
    • DHCP on a NAS is a remarkably bad idea
    • Western Digital's idea is good, but problems abound and this product is FAR from the advertised "plug and play".
    • I love the idea of having all of my stuff in one place that I can view wherever I am.
    • Like other tech support based companies, the csr had no idea what I was talking about.
    • Another bad idea for a NAS
    • You have no idea if you backup is actually working and worth
    • I like the idea but would never recommend this product
    • So one star for existing, one star for a good idea, and one star for it being able to backup data

    • The technical support people (very nice) had no idea as to what was wrong, or how to move forward.
    • Too bad, I really like the idea of having my own "cloud

    • Borderline defective as of right now
    • This is a great network drive for your photos, videos, music, as well as for document backup
    • Bottom Line is it does work and does appear to deliver the promised results but it is nowhere near as easy or straightforward as the marketing leads you to believe.
    • Overall the device promises a
    • They just don't work as they should
