Excellent for home streaming
on May 6, 2023
Posted by: Dvirxx
I bought mine a year ago (with 2x16tb red), I use it mostly for streaming my content (plex). It’s extremely easy to use with the web gui, has it’s own apps like my cloud (used to sync all my devices),the 4gb ram is enough but still I upgraded it to 16gb.
The only thing I wish would be better is the cpu, or at list have the option to replace it myself. Overall I love that product

PR4100 after a couple of years

The WD PR4100 has been an excellent fit for my home. Very reliable, quick. Aside from a little confusion setting up (a distant memory now), it's performance has been flawless. My PR4100 is configured with 4 x 8 TB using RAID5. RAID5 is a good solution for home.

We use this instead of putting our data on the web

I had a NAS device by another vendor in our home office with seven computers. It had a flaw that caused it to constantly drop off our network, so I replaced it with this device and have had no problems. It currently provides me 40tb of storage for laptop and desktops backups, backup for over 70,000 tracks of digital music, and about 40,000 digital pictures we can access over ethernet to our 57" tv. I have used WD products for decades and never had a failure. As disk capacities have increased over the years, I accumulated about 20 drives that are 'retired' but I can't get myself to throw them away! This large capacity allows me to keep historic versions of my financial data. Recently in early November I had a data issue with financial records and was able to recover a backup copy from last January 3 because I had online storage for data. I do not use the RAID capability but instead keep multiple historic versions for flalback because I have the space. This device performs as well as my internal drives over ethernet cable.

Excellent product that is easy to setup!

The PR4100 was purchased to resolve issues with my PLEX server. The server I was using could not always provide a stable playback of high resolution video. I thought that my issue was my WiFi was not stable enough to stream the large files to my TV. I upgraded my network and hardwired direct to my TV. I still had the same issue. So PLEX recommended the PR4100 I purchased with 32TB. I spent 48 hours transferring my video files onto the PR4100. The setup was pretty simple. I am now streaming to all TV’s in my home as well as my phones and tablets. I’m looking to add another PR4100.
I would recommend this to a friend!
