It Works As Indicated

Submitted 10 years ago

By Carl

From Lompoc, CA

Verified Buyer

Comments about My Cloud 3TB Personal Cloud Storage

Pros: Pretty easy setup. Works better using computer wired to the router as the instructions suggest in order to move a huge amount of data quickly. Cons: The installation program creates a desktop shortcut with browser address of http://192.168.2.101/ but when I tried to access the drive a couple days later I had to change the address to end with 103. The next day I had to change it back to 101 and it has been fine ever since. Other thoughts: Disappointed I can't do a network backup with Windows 7 but that's a Microsoft issue. Backup not supported in my Home Premium edition.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Cons: If you plan on shutting down each day, the shut down process is slow, and requires logging in thru the web. Initial massive file transfer of media over 2tb is extremely slow. Need a better way.
