1TB Portable NAS

that took hours. The first time I installed the Android app, the transfers between my phone and the drive were EXTREMELY SLOW, but after uninstalling it and reinstalling the drive is now very fast. I found the iOS app much better at setting up the drive and it does have automatic backup for photos and videos. The Android app will also ask to backup new photos automatically, but can't be disabled. I found it's best to configure the drive with no cables connected using battery power. This was the cause of some of the difficulty configuring the drive since the battery was dead on arrival and I had it connected to my computer to charge. The mistake I was making was trying to use it as a USB drive on my computer and backup from my phones, but that isn't supported. If you boot the drive without the USB port connected, it will boot into the NAS and backup mode. For home use I've attached it via LAN cable to my router. This does make the file transfers much faster and then you don't have to switch your WiFi to the SSK Cloud hotspot.

Really nice product. Sturdy, has Ethernet port for hardwiring. The only complaint is the software used to access the hard drive. It's a little slow and more often than not the contents of the drive doesn't load in the app, which leads to a mini heart attack. A few refreshes and sometimes closing and reopening the app works.

This did work well to transfer photos and videos from iphone6 , iPad Gen2 & galaxy9 cell. I could not transfer contacts from the iPhone.

I was able to get my iPhone to connect to this drive , but that wasn’t the purpose why I bought this item. To connect to the laptops I have for back-up purposes you need to have a special SSK app. That seemed easy except the file needed on SSK’s website was impossible to download. Tried multiple times on multiple day with the same result. Finally gave up and returned the drive to Amazon. I’ll go with tried and true WD NAS - a little more expensive, but I’m sure it will work right out of the box. No more SSK.

This drive works for what I need it for - holding a large volume of movies I watch while traveling. (BTW, I download them from my paid subscription services with an app called Playon.) The device creates its own wifi network which I connect to with my iPad. I can also share the password with others traveling with me and they can watch anything in the library, not necessarily the same as what I am watching. However, the app (iPad software) leaves something to be desired. First, the navigation looks like something from 1998; a basic folder tree rather than recognizing movies and grabbing the thumbnails (like Plex does.) And the iPad must be in portrait orientation to read it. Once the movie starts I can rotate the iPad into landscape mode and I'm happy again. So if the kids are traveling with me, I have to help them get things set up. I wouldn't think it would require much code to fix the orientation issue or to provide an easier to use interface, but no one took the time which is annoying and why I didn't give it a full five stars. 3 month Update: The battery life on this unit is terrible after just a few uses. Even after overnight charge it didn’t last a whole movie. I sold It in our last garage sale and will be shopping for something better. The idea is awesome but very poor execution. Dropped rating down to two stars.

Loaded this drive up with moves for a 19 hour road trip each way. Kids never ran out of movies to watch. We also used it in the hotel to stream movies since the hotel wifi sucked. Idiot proof setup and ipad application is easy to use.

I want a personal cloud storage device and was really hoping this device would work. Even though it is not the simplest device to use, I like the small form factor and was hoping to just keep it tucked away and have it available from remote whenever I needed it. After two tries, I've decided to give up. The first unit stopped working after a week. I got a replacement and the second unit keeps turning itself off after a couple of days, so it is not available from remote when I need it most. Tech support is almost non-existent, and there are no firmware updates available to fix the problem. I will keep looking for something more reliable and dependable, hopefully something easier to use also.

Muy funcional. La conexión por Wireless una buena opción para pasar archivos. 🙏🏼

Excellent product

Not accessible when out of the house.

Me gustó, nada más que para utilizarlo en su forma inalámbrica parece ser que dependo de una app. Espero y el producto sea duradero.

Not able to store separately and not able to lock the folder.

In general meet my expectation, except the battery life seem to be quite short.
