Review: Will not connect - I was on the phone with WD for over 2 hours trying to get it to connect.
Review: DO NOT buy this !!! - I have the 4tb version that was purchased several years ago, for various reasons I never set it up and used it. Last week I went to set it up and it was not accessible. Contacted Western Digital several times and the eventual response from Western Digital was, - sorry the firmware on the device is out of date and cannot be updated remotely or locally. I would understand if this item was no longer sold, but they are still selling them.
