Just not fast enough

I bought the box for the Special 159.90. But you get a very cheap-sounding plastic case with as labbe engined Rückholösen for the hard drives. Because you're afraid, you hold the loop in one hand and the board gets stuck forever. If one looks into the device, you can see a few microchips and wonders what the height price partly around the 200, - justifies.
The unit is quickly assembled and put into operation. The software for configuration via the web browser works well, is intuitive and also set up quickly. If you know your way a little in Linux, you can see the effort that WD has been given. Only the TwonkyServer has a value of 15, -; An upward trend due to the weak Euro.

The device itself is but unbearably slow.
After 3 days, the most intensive testing I gave it back. Equal first is to say that I have 10 computers and a file server (openSUSE Linux) in the gigabit network. Since I'm on data transfer rates of about 70 MB / s in both directions. The WD EX2 manages just to about 10 MB / s. No matter where on the net I hinstelle. Other devices bring higher performance. Since there is no use WD on reviews here always brings the same verdict and offered help. One should Seriously illuminate the problem and finally eliminate.
A few more words about the operating system: If you are familiar, can be actuated directly via ssh on the box. High praise for this. But the operating system is implemented rotten and there is no sense to use tool such as the Midnight Commander with text editor. So you could easily copy data from a hard drive connected to the USB 3 port on the WD. What is USB 3 need if you can copy the data from the external to the internal hard disk only over the network and thus with 10 MB / s, does not open up to me so far. And you could also tweak the configuration files and possibly increase the transfer rate. Can be used with vi and I do not want to work.
The unit I have returned and ordered me an ICY BOX. NAS devices, I am healed.

Conclusion: If you are happy with 10 MB / s. gets a handsome device. That will be those who simply just want to take photos and videos smaller.
But those who value performance, shall mourn. If you want to fully write 4 TB with 10 MB / s, you need for about 385,000 sec., 6,430 min., 107 h or good four days. This is intolerable. Also transferring Blue-Ray takes ages.
