It was impressive.

I can obtain speeds very close to theoretical limit of 1000Mbps (gigabit speeds).
Testing was performed over approximate 35m Cat6; switching is GS-724T; router EdgeRouter Lite (gigabit network); normal sized packets
1000Mbps / 8 = 125MB/s (direct conversion of units)
but you need to take into consideration data overhead
and testing revealed 118MB/s read and 118MB/s write
which are amazing speeds
The first image was a 5TB Toshiba x300 drive (7200RPM); one drive
The second image was a 3TB WD Green drive (5400RPM); two drives (Spanning)
I decided to stay with the 3TB WD Green drives as I had two of them and I could populate both drives bays.
Why WD Green (WD's Eco line) instead of WD Reds (designed for NAS)?
If WD thought it well enough to populate their lower end NAS/External hard drives devices with WD Greens then it is good enough for me (the two WD Greens I pulled from older WD NAS/External hard drives).
You can configure the drives as RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, Spanning.
Lots of options and a few apps but am using the device primarily just for storage (turned most of the apps).
Very stable - no compatibility issues.
Able to become your network's Local Master Browser (excellent WD!)
To comment regarding one user's review that he couldn't use this as a hotswap enclosure - this and many other NAS DEVICES ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR HOTSWAPPING. The unit is a linux based unit with the HDD formatted with EXT4; don't expect to remove a HDD and place it into your computer and hope to see the data unless you absolutely know what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing you have a very good chance of permanently destroying your data.
Data transfer WILL slow down significantly if you transfer lots of very tiny files - this is a known issue with many NAS devices and is not limited to WD.
Fast, reliable piece of hardware - very stable, and solid piece of engineering.

Other issue was that the older drives I put in, 1 showed as BAD and all scan-disk utilities greyed out because drives not setup yet. Setup greyed out because drive needed scanned. Catch52 deal. Had to pull the drive and put onto my PC and run a check/repair and was then able to setup my JBOD.
So far... almost debatable if a setup issue, or just not a good product to use for media streaming.
Upside... it's compact, less power needed than my old PC setup, quiet. User interface is good, which is why I went with this brand.
Physically only change I would make, would been to have the case be 3/4" taller. Top flips open, it's a mesh and lets air through, but been cool to have an optional 90mm fan to help keep things cooler. Didn't drops stars for that. Dropped 2-stars simply for the scan disk being greyed out when needed, and a star for slow access despite a fast connection.


Cons: crappy proprietary software, slow to wake up, admin UI is so bad that most ppl (including myself) opt for SSH into the server directly
I put in 8TB of WD's own NAS grade hard drives and ran a RAID 1 setup. After a year of very minor use of only backing up pictures and documents, this piece of crap started to max out CPU at 100% from God knows what. Cannot access the UI - opening up the login page takes 10 min, another 10 min to login then it just dies. I guess I'll just switch to cloud based storage options and never buy another WD product in my life again.
