I do have experience with some other WD network drives, but not this one. I literally had this set up and working in about 10 minutes. The admin interface seems to have been improved in a few areas and I found it intuitive and most of the decisions were self-evident. I was looking for a drive array that has some expansibility and this looks like the right one, although I won't really know that until some time in the futre.

Good when it works. Lots of issues with this transferring and sharing files amongst colleagues.

Worked well for a little while but drives failing

The EX4100 (16TB) was purchased as a storage for our lab and shared across multiple users and has worked well for about 2 years. But now one of the drives is failing despite never being moved.

I just recently received a new EX4100 16 TB NAS. As i currently own a EX4 NAS which is very similar to the EX4100 thus making the setup very easy and quick. I use the NAS a a backup device for 6 pc's. The new unit is considerably faster. The EX4100 allows me to schedule a regular backup on all pc's in a "set it and forget it" manner. Very convenient and time saving. It is a very nice place for fifty+ years of pictures.
