1 of 5 Do not waste your money!!! Monday, May 12, 2008
A Customer from Albuquerque NM
I have used and liked Western Digital drives in the past, but that was before I wasted my money on this. This does not work at all with my new PC. Forget about using it over the internet it will not even work on my LAN. It will be a long time before WD gets any more of my money and as a MS Partner I will not use WD in any system I build. It comes close to fraud so save your money. What a waste of a good company. Was this review helpful?

3 of 5 Big and Slow Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Steve from Boynton Beach, FL
While I love having 1TB to store my videos and pictures, the network speed is abysmal. MioNet, which may be valuable to someone, made usage in my home network cumbersome and difficult. The security features in the product requires MioNet to be installed on each computer that accesses the device. Documentation on how to work around using MioNet was well hidden on their web site. If I had it to do over, I'd buy a different product. Was this review helpful?

1 of 5 Advertising is false; performance is poor Monday, March 10, 2008
A Customer from Baltimore, MD
I am a CEO of a software company, and if we ran our company like WD has managed this product, we would be out of business. Mionet is buggy and unreliable; the hardware has been increasingly unreliable with use; and, worst of all, contrary to the advertising and the promotion on the very box this product came in, one cannot access video and audio files (among others) remotely (they are now filtered). Complaints to the company have fallen on deaf ears. Then to make things worse, because it will not connect directly to my PC, it can't even be used in that mode. Pitiful. Was this review helpful?

3 of 5 Not exactly as manufacturer would like you to beli Thursday, March 06, 2008
klo from Seattle, WA
There are several things I'd like to comment on here. Mostly around how the manufacturer advertises this drive. First off. Although nothing says otherwise, the version of drive I received does NOT do RAID 1. In fact, both the packaging and directions tell me it can. It was not until I contacted support that I was told that the version I was shipped is incapable of doing RAID 1. Secondly, support was very slow to reply and really didn't help. Thirdly, the read/write speeds are not as good as they could be. Your best bet would be to do Gig E.
All-in-all I'd say my experience with this drive was OK. Not bad, just OK. For the price you get a good storage drive for a home NAS. However, think twice if you want to centrally store media files or if you absolutely positively need to mirror. Was this review helpful? |
