Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a really good product but only on PAPER. Following is the biggest issue that I have with this product that will literary makes it useless. First off, a quick background on me, Im a network engineer and my job is to manage and configure networking products on daily basis. With that said, this SAN is not stable when it is onna network. This means that for the first couple of days, you can connect to the dashboard from your network and remotely, but after that it goes missing from every point of connection, meaning you cannot connect to the unit or the dashboard regardless of what you do. The worst part about this is that all the information on the little blue screen located on the unit shows everything is working fine. There is a physical power button in front of the unit but it does not do anything regardless of how long you hold it. It is as if the unit just hangs and freezes. The only way to reset the unit is to disconnect the power cable which is really the last thing I want to do with products that have spinning disks in them. My mistake was not returning this in time and thinking that I can fix it. For those of you having this issue or thinking about buying it, all the solutions that are on the forums online, such as setting static ip and doing system restore, WILL NOT fix this issue. I called WD support and instead of trying to trouble shoot the problem, they are just going to RMA it. What really pissed me off was that, they told me that they are going to pay for the shipping this one time as curtesy. So basically, your product is faulty and I have to pay for it to get shipped back?!!! this is just absurd. Please save your money and DO NOT buy this junk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update 8/8 I have now called WD about 8 times to get one simple pre-paid shipping label for their defective product. This is 2017 and WD is unable to provide a simple shipping label because "their servers are down". Apparently it takes them more than a week to fix their servers. This is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with specially when it comes to customer service. Please save your money and time and stay away from them. I wish I could give them 0 stars.
