I was trying to use this as a wireless AP only and when I tried to manually set it up in a work environment it was a pain to configure how I wanted it to be configured. It kept trying to use the "access from anywhere" software and I did not want to use that. It might have worked better if I just used the "easy" setup and answered the questions. I bought a newer Netgear wireless router and set it up with the "easy" setup and it worked great but I was not in a work environment. The speed is good and the range is fairly good as well. Overall 3.5 to 4.0 stars.

I have purchased a couple of these and they have not failed me yet. The speed increase is wonderful and I have not had any issues with the product so far. A wonderful alternative for people that do not use much hard drive storage and need that speed increase.

This drive failed only after 17 days of use. It was outside the return policy for Bestbuy but I was able to get it returned via RMA to WesternDigital. The new drive works so far. The replacement drive was sent fast and the money on hold on my CC was released quickly. I am an IT Specialist and have seen drives fail out of the box. It is bound to happen. It was easy for me to get it returned to WD and get a replacement with no issues.

WD - My Cloud Mirror 4TB Personal Cloud Storage - White
WD - My Cloud Mirror 4TB Personal Cloud Storage - White
Wirelessly store and access your photos and videos with this WD My Cloud Mirror personal Cloud storage, which offers a generous 4TB capacity. USB 3.0 ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port provide high-speed connectivity to your devices and home Wi-Fi network.
 

How many computers can you mirror and can you also store backups on the same drive? How often are back ups done and are they incremental? Are there any fees?

This device does not do full backups of your computer.
You can use something like Acronis to do that.
This will backup data that you store on the external hard drive to the cloud e.g. documents, pictures, etc.
Lastly there is no monthly fee.
If you get a 4 TB drive you have 4 TBs of data storage on the WD MyCloud servers.

WD - My Cloud 4TB External Hard Drive (NAS) - White
WD - My Cloud 4TB External Hard Drive (NAS) - White
This WD My Cloud drive features a 4TB capacity and lets you stream media to compatible DLNA-/UPnP-capable devices or upload and access data on the go via PC, Mac and compatible mobile phones and tablets. Automatic backup helps safeguard your files.
 

Having a backup against a disk drive failure is great. Is this also a backup against ransomware? If my computer gets infected with ransomware and the files on my computer get encrypted, will the copies on myCloud also get encrypted?

Yes if the data on your WD MyCloud drive gets encrypted do to an encryption virus it will sync them to the cloud as well.
I am not sure if there is "shadow copy" on the web or not.
I do believe that Microsoft OneDrive has a way to go back to recent files but I am not sure about WD MyCloud yet.
Might be worth some research.
Hope this helps.

Yes it will. It will fit almost any standard sized laptop. You will have to load the operating system on the disc because they are purchased blank. Also some laptop are tricky to remove the hard drive from them. I would refer to the laptop manual from hp.com.

Yes it will. It will fit almost any standard sized laptop. You will have to load the OS onto it because it is a blank drive. Also getting them out can be tricky on some models. I suggest looking up the full manual on the HP website. Good luck!

will it work on an acer 4720z @ vista home?

Absolutely but what you need to know is that you have to load the Operating System onto it e.g. Windows Vista Home. You will need the install disc to be able to do that. Hopefully they sent one to you. You can also use imaging software to image your old drive if it is not completely dead. Good luck in your replacement!

If drive failes

If the drive failes can you open the case and install a new HDD?
You can physically open it up and install a new drive but I am not sure how it is formatted and where the MyCloud software is installed from.
You might be able to download and install it on another drive.
I have not had to do that yet.
