Plex, don't buy - High speeds, don't buy

I bought this drive to use exclusively with Plex. I understood that my cloud home is my cloud upgrade, not . WD advertises that Plex can and can be used, but horribly. To use a Plex server you sacrifice more than half the features of a Plex membership, your load times are very slow and most importantly if for some reason you buy the 8TB version you lose 1TB for software or something he otherwise deems necessary. 1TB of storage space? Yes, and I'm still baffled as to why any drive thinks itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Storage
Cons
  • Disappear

I don't understand! I tried but oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh this record is painfully slow! no matter what they say. Every time you upload ANYTHING, it gets indexed forever, giving you beautiful photos of THOUSANDS of electronic circuits (in my case). Tried to return it but "windows closed" saved your money for something more useful, maybe Halloween socks that would be better spent. You beat this drive to a high score, even a cheap raspberry pi is 10x

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Don't get it! I tried but oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh this record is excruciatingly slow! no matter what they say. Every time you upload ANYTHING, it gets indexed forever, giving you beautiful photos of THOUSANDS of electronic circuits (in my case). Tried to return it but "windows closed" saved your money for something more useful, maybe Halloween socks that would be better spent. You beat this drive to a high score, even a cheap raspberry pi is 10xโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quick and easy setup via your phone
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Always online - no option for local access only when needed

This isn't a network storage device you've ever seen. Don't confuse it with a standard NAS device. There is a clear problem with these devices that WD seems to have engineered for them for some reason. The device must be connected to the internet to function. That might seem reasonable, but there's no way to use it locally without internet access. As I understand it, this is a "cloud" device. I understand. However, it would be very easy to either enable the IP address interface for advancedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Backup for all your PCs and Macs
Cons
  • Long delivery time

I still work with this device and still appreciate its long-term value. My collection of digital materials, music, databases, documents and photos has grown to multiple external hard drives over the years. So I packed everything onto this 4 terabyte mega drive. It's like filling up a basement or attic, how much of it do you really need? But what makes it good is that it allows you to wirelessly collect all of those things in one place. It's wireless, which is a blessing and a curse. It uploadsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Automatically back up photos and videos to your phone
Cons
  • Power outlet required
