I saw the negative reviews about how hard this is to set up, but I ignored them because I consider myself pretty tech savvy

I got WD My Cloud because of some of the reviews, but I should of looked at the bad reviews closely

At first, I had a hard time understanding why so many people give this product positive reviews

I have 5 WD internal drives in my desktop and I have never had any trouble with them, so I tried this despite the poor reviews, but I will not be buying another NAS drive from WD

Let me start by saying I do not normally post negative reviews on Amazon, however this will be my first exception

This is kind of a tough review

No promises of an "unbiased" review

I was concerned because the negative reviews.

There are some excellent reviews in Amazon about the product.

Should have listened to the negative reviews

People are leaving bad reviews and I don't know why, setup took me less than 2 hours and its very simple
