Customer Review

My minor Agency for Press and Media Services consulting with currently three workstations has found at last with the Western Digital My Cloud EX4100 (NAS System 16TB) a central place for itself resulting Daternspeicherung. Since I'm more equipped than pure user in this area only with a rather moderate technical punditry, also estimating the IT professional of my confidence is here passed partly standing aside for such matters in word and deed to me.

The delivery of the whole took place already in a very confidence-inspiring original packaging along with a useful carrying handle, which turned out to be quite practical when transporting not just as easy to be designated but compact part. In the package is next to the NAS with four used WD Red hard drives (each with 4TB) even the power supply plus a network cable and a user manual in short form.

By connecting and installing it was then to my astonishment no problems, since the device installed, according to expert almost by itself. The initially quite loud operating noise of ventilation was then fortunately short-lived. With all the advantages of this product in technical terms, and the associated jargon, which are only partly understandable to me from a user perspective and will probably always be, I can not come up here. Nevertheless, here afford to use upcoming hard disks in any case all the work and leave, according to my specialist an absolutely reliable impression. The access from my Smartphone or Tablet proves to be easy to desired data by an APP, is another not insignificant advantage for me.

From my perspective, you get it here eventually with a convincing overall package do: High performance thanks to a powerful processor combined with the NAS systems specially developed, while very reliable working WD Red drives that in our (almost) continuous operation without failure and blame their service provided. About all these things, however, is the protection of my content in combination with comprehensive data security of the counting to the network Mac computers to a central location - this goal was achieved hereby. Even with the transmission rates occur, the WD My Cloud EX4100 needs absolutely nothing to hide, the general belief of all persons concerned just top notch.

Whether for the called purchase price feels addressed also the home users, is probably also individually from the respective volume of his portfolio files or its needs and desires. For our small business, I can report summarizing only positive impressions after some time in everyday practical operation. So we are all very happy to have won this new electronic staff for us who has integrated properly and awarded including our IT professional full credit. The die-hard IT freaks like me, as already mentioned, forgive for sure in this review had come much too short technical features. All I can in detail easily deliver any profound presentation and want it without this necessary background and do not even try.
