Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Although I firmly believe that there is no better recommendation than Amazon reviews consensus, I decided to ignore it this time and buy this product. I did it because I have had many great Seagate products and because with new technologies the problem may be on the customer's lack of basic expertise or patience. Well, my apologizes to those who tried to prevent my purchase with their good advice. You were right. The good about the product is that it does deliver solid streams of video or audio content wirelessly to multiple devices. However, it takes forever to write or upload your stuff into Seagate Central. It's incredibly slow to receive your input. AND, even worse, it's unreliable. Not usually, but every now and then, it does a "disappearing act" from your list of drives. Which is incredibly scary... For all the good it does, I, and obviously many others, don't have any use for a device that is slow AND unreliable. I hope Seagate keeps working on the concept. I would concentrate on expanding the storage capacity of Seagate Wireless Plus 1 TB Mobile Device Storage with Built-In Wi-Fi Streaming as a perfect solution. Until then, I would advise people to wait.. UPDATE: I'm very disappointed that Amazon has decided, for months now, to cook the ratings of this bad product by using VINE reviewers. Vine is a respectable program when used to produce reviews for new products that need people to give them a try. That is not how VINE has been used here. This "expensive" product has been given for free to people that are more likely to consequently give it a high grade. This was done to balance the bad grades of real customers who bought the product with their own money and want to warn others not to waste their time and money. Amazon is usually amazing, not this time, not at all. 2nd UPDATE: Apparently Seagate has accepted what an unworthy product this was and has created a brand new product to replace it: "Seagate Personal Cloud 2-bay Home Media Storage Device 4TB NAS STCS4000100" It launches on March 2015. So, now you have another reason not to buy this piece of cr#%&@. And let's hope the new product does Seagate some justice.
