Oh dear, I should have paid more attention to the many 1-star reviews.I needed something I could use to backup the SD cards from my digital cameras, and this seemed the perfect product. On paper the ‘Pro’ badge seems well deserved, because the My Passport Wireless Pro is much more capable than similar products from other manufacturers.Unfortunately, the device I was sent failed to work, exhibiting the same symptoms that many other users have reported: I was unable to connect to the device’s wifi network, and all the device’s LEDs flashed at high rate (indicating a problem with the device). I also found that it would not connect to a Windows PC via the supplied USB cable (it went through a repeated cycle of briefly appearing in Device Manager, then immediately disappearing).Some users who experienced these symptoms have reported that the issue could be resolved by hard-resetting the device, but this didn’t work for me. I have therefore returned the product to Amazon for a refund.In contrast to my experience with the product, the Amazon return process worked perfectly: it was simple, quick and efficient, and the refund appeared within a day.I note that WD Technical Support have responded to a number of the 1-star reviews suggesting that the customer should have tried contacting WD support before returning the product to Amazon. Whilst I’m impressed that the WD Support team are proactively trying to help users of their products, I don’t feel I should need to contact a technical support team to use a brand new product for the task it is advertised to perform. The Amazon reviews clearly show that many customers have experienced the same issue as me, and I hope WD will investigate why so many of these devices are arriving in an unusable state, and to rectify the design defect that appears to exist in this product.I’ve had no problems with WD products in the past, but I shall think very carefully before buying another WD product.

I received a faulty drive. All LEDs blinking fast which indicates a defective drive. Terribly disappointing because I was looking forward to work with it. I read many reviews where other buyers had similar problem. I arranged a replacement the following day and I'm hoping that the next drive will be ok. Not happy and I hope that the next one works.(Next day): The replacement drive arrived! The set up at the beginning was a very "bumpy ride" but after managing to connect it to my WiFi network and installing the MyCloud app, the rest of my experience with the drive till the very late hours, was smooth, blissful and happy because everything worked as it should! I believe that the biggest problem with this drive is not it's quality or factionality but the terribly confusing in places, operating instructions. I returned the first drive but now I'm not so sure that it was faulty at all. The manual imticates that when all the LED lights blink fast fast, it means that the drive has a serious problem and Western Digital should be called! I had the same problem at the beginning with the second drive but I didn't give up and started looking into a sea of information in the online support section of the WD website. I realised that a simple reset of the drive by pressing the power button and the SD button together for 5-10 seconds could solve the problem. But as opposed to the manual, that worked only when I pressed those buttons together when the drive was off and not on. Everything after that moment worked like a dream. So Mr and Mrs Potential Buyer, if I could give my humpble opinion, I would say that so far I'm very happy with the performance and factionality of the drive, but if you buy one and unpack it, you might be lucky and face an easy, no headache set up or you might think that you received a faulty drive and get frustrated and return it, but you will only be a victim of poorly updated instructions from WD. I'll still give it 5 stars because it's what I expected.

I bought this so that when I am away from home I would be able (1) to upload photos from my camera to my iPad wirelessly - preferably by using my camera's SD card and (2) to do this using Western Digital's My Cloud system. The first time I used an SD card in the device it transferred the files OK but when I put the SD card in my desktop Windows reported that the card was damaged but was able to repair it. I tried again with a different SD card, this time afterwards putting it in my camera. Faulty card reported. I put it in my desktop - same error message as previously but repairable. When I'm away from home I naturally don't have access to repair a card after each day's photography.I tried uploading directly from my camera to the device using the usb lead provided. The upload was successful but I had problems setting My Cloud up on my iPad though these were eventually resolved (The device comes with no instructions worth talking about). I then tried to install My Cloud on my desktop so that I could download the photos from my iPad - save them to my hard drive and back them up via Dropbox and to a conventional external hard drive (multiple redundancy!). Western Digital's system would not let me do this. The desktop app is different and asks you to choose between backup products - none of which was the Wireless Drive. A 9 digit product code was demanded - that of the wireless drive has only 8 digits.I went back to my iPad to move the photos from My Cloud to the iPad's internal drive. My Cloud now told me that my password was not recognised as being associated with the device. I emailed Western Digital to describe my problems. 2 days later I received a reply that had no bearing on what I had described. I wrote back explaining more fully. 2 days later another reply equally useless. I might as well have complained in latin or Swahili for all the comprehension the reply showed. The Western Digital Support service has been totally unsupportive. I have now requested a return via Amazon who - as usual responded promptly and helpfully agreeing to the return. Thank you, Amazon. No thanks, Western Digital.
