Compared to Buffalo, the device is even a little bit easier. The setup wizard sets up the NAS a right and recognize these also immediately Netztwerk. I had already experienced by other manufacturers such as Netgear different.
The NAS is immediately ready for use.
There are created when you install new shortcuts on your desktop.
One for quick access to the NAS, one for the settings page, one for a Schulugscenter> Instructions and Help and a link to the "public release".
Settings:> WD My Mirror Cloud Dashboard
The settings are very simple and well thought out. The most important settings are easy to operate even for beginners.
The main setting shows the remaining capacity, if the device is working properly, if there is updates, wiviele users and how many devices are verbuden cloud.
- In the user more users can be assigned. Since I alone zugreife it is not so important for me.
- In the area approvals folders can be shared with other people. Remote access can be defined here with "FTP", "WebDAV" or "NFS".
- In the area of cloud access control and so on, you can unlock access to its own devices, such as iphone app's, smartphone apps. This is simply because you especial for just a code generated with which you can access the cloud via the WD Apps. To this end, no Programierkenntnisse required.
- In the area of security, you can specify whether the WD is to be saved externally again: choice here between USB backup, second WD cloud, Internal fuse or external cloud backup using the services ElephantDrive or Amazon S§ assurance.
- In the field of memory you can specify how the NAS works to> RAID mode. The default RAID 1> to the second in order to prevent the reflection of the first case of data loss.
- In the APPS can adjust the HTTP access, FTP access, P2P access and Webdateienbetrachter. But even more Apps can be installed such as eMule, IceCast, WordPress.
- In the settings you can admire the classical settings such as time, language, name, power saving mode (the very good works), MAC backups, trash, DLNA, iTunes, notification mail or SMS.
All in all a very simple structure, but reliable NAS. So far (4 weeks use) I had neither Aussetzter, yet I had the NAS manually start or anything.
The NAS works fast, I test this easily with a small program H2testw:
Warning: in 1000 tested by 1,903,025 Mbytes.
Ready, no error occurred.
You can delete the test files * .h2w now or to taste
check again.
Write rate: 38.7 MB / s
Read rate: 70.7 MB / s
H2testw v1.4
This is not a network testing program or the like which is to be simply a info.
I hope I can help with the Rezi a little. In just ask in the comments used.
ADDENDUM: 12/2014
So far, the NAS is with me in continuous use> No loss, no loss of data. Immediately goes on from standby. SUPER!
