Best Network Attached Storage Drive

Great Hard Drive for Video Storage on Network Video Recorders.

Well built, and works seamlessly as a network drive attached to my iMa

High-speed, scalable storage server. Synology RS3618xs is a reliable network attached storage solution with ideal performance for midsize businesses and supports virtualization systems

I purchased this 2 TB Ext Array through BHPhotoVideo to use in the production and final editing of a multi-DVD training video (11 discs).I used the drive with Final Cut Pro, which is what it is designed for. Additionally, the drive was the SOLE source of data storage for these programs, ie, I did not have a network or internal storage source. While I was expecting this drive to take, on average, 15%-20% longer to perform the required functions of the FCP programs and accessory programs I was using, such as Compressor and DVD Pro, this WAS NOT THE CASE, as I experienced wait/save time roughly equal to those I would have received if I had had direct internal or network storage. Awesome....This drive was my first experience/transaction w/ BHPhotoVideo. I will be back for future technological needs/purchases, and most likely will not go anywhere else for these sorts of needs. Very, very happy customer am I.

I have a lot of HD home video, and a drive like this is perfect for network storage. It's fast, cheap, and rated for 24/7 operation.

I picked this up to use as a cache drive for my Network storage device and it works great for this. I have used Samsung SSD's for years and their M.2 drives are my new favorite storage option.

If you are looking for a network shared large TB storage try this. I am not a fan of the cloud... So this allows you to create a mycloud .com account or not. The drive still shows up as a computer to share a drive to the PUBLIC folder. It does not show up under storage. If you don't create an account on mycloud then their software isn't any help. Remember their software is to sync their cloud service to your pc. However I will repeat not using the cloud or their software stops it from showing up as a computer to connect to and assign it a DRIVE letter on your computer and everyone on the network. Setup is a breeze. Plug in power and ethernet cable and thats it. YOUR security on your computer (IE OS) will determine what you need to set to allow you to see and use another computer on the network. I wanted a non raid solution for simplicity. I have had several raid NAS devices and I am tired of rebuilding the drives when one of the disk drive fails or the NAS box housing the drives quits. I now can keep a quick backup of computer files for the family on another spot. I just need to keep in mind the mycloud drive has a life expectancy. SO if you want to use the cloud to sync your files so they are never lost. Create a log in to mycloud and presto the sync software works. If I want to use a cloud for safety. I personally would subscribe to DROPBOX and sync my my cloud home drive to it. Many software products have built in support for using DROPBOX over the internet. mycloud from WD is free and can go away anytime and is not widely supported as DROPBOX . Keep that in mind if you decide to use mycloud.com.

Best for Storage.

I attached this to a brand new 27 iMac to increase the storage, and for Time Machine backups, etc. It was very easy to set up and is working perfectly for my needs. I love the size and portability of this hard drive. Have nothing but good things to say about this drive. I've always been partial to Western Digital drives and this one does not disappoint.

The drive has the storage and the speed one would need!
