If you have no idea ...

However, the amount of whiners here among the reviews I will not agree. I am IT systems engineer and have so much to do with networks and their topologies.

1. The standby function which desöfteren was criticized here works perfectly. I'm sure that 99% of people who find fault here, do not know how the standby works. In order for the WD goes into standby, no payload must go through the network to WD over time more, no other device can communicate with the WD. Who among all the whiners here has the time checked whether the smart TV network also not screened when it's off. Who checks whether any smartphone or tablet is not just index the DLNA. Or if any Windows laptop or computer can not update the index. And and and ....
There are many reasons why the idle stop can not work, but in the least case. At the WD May even be on the router. A network is linked as the name suggests, why the errors and the associated reason may occur in different places. Who'd like to know what data or what kind of traffic through its network running times should deal with the software Wireshark.

2. People who value here with 1 star because the USB port is not sure as to the WD should be connected to the PC / Smart TV writing reviews will be banned. The sense of a / a network hard drive / NAS / DLNA server is the connection on the network. Who needs a USB hard drive should also buy a selbige!

I can now list many more which all the whiners here contradict, but that would lead to very into talking shop)

Which are faced with a purchase decision, I can only recommend this product. Also you should you not be dissuaded from the thing to bring into the grid as a layman himself, but when problems arise not only superficially try to solve then subsequently to write a negative review here but time is a little bit into the matter and Network Tools their modes of reading. If necessary, there is at each determines the nerd from the neighborhood that establishes you the thing for a six-pack Cola in 5min.
