Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am happy with this drive for many reasons, and disappointed for two. This is a very well-built drive that seems like it will perform quite well for my purposes, which are media streaming. It has a browser-based management utility that is streamlined and easy to use. However, the documentation is very vague, as are the online forums that don't function well. My drive was set up in under 30 minutes with no problems. My dad bought two of these as well, and is having issues setting up the Global Access feature for some reason. I didn't have any issue with that. The two issues that are concerning have to deal with documentation and Media Server functionality. Seagate does not list what file formats/codecs are supported for DLNA streaming. Unfortunately, it appears it is limited to AVI and Windows Media. It will not stream MP4 files of any sort. This is a huge loss for me, since I bought the drive to avoid having my computer on all the time. The details of this issue are not documented anywhere. However, it appears that very few drives out there function properly in this respect. For now, I am streaming through Connect360 while waiting for a firmware update that may offer hope. I recommend this drive as a solid network drive, but must warn you that it does not perform as a DLNA server. I will update this as I get more information.
