What is the WD proprietary hardware mentioned by a couple of reviewers?

The WD passport only works with USB 3.0 that's it and is very useful easy to backup and very fast the data transference. This WD Passport doesn't works like a WIFI cloud at your home

Probably that it must have. USB port to attach to on a computer, dvr or tv. It has a short cord 8 " at most , and ends with a USB plug.

Unlike some of its competitors, both the WD Slim and Ultra offer 256 bit hardware encryption for your data. Since these little devices are easily lost or stolen, IMO that's a pretty handy feature!

You can see the comparison at the bottom of the Elements page. Only thing that separates the two is some crappy software. Save your money buy the WD Element.

I don't know your Poweredge, but it looks like your existing drive is a SATA drive, so I would have thought it would be OK. Whatever OS and drive controller you are using would be of more concern. Might be worth emailing WD support asking them.

The Pico is capable of wds however I don't know how well it plays with unifi. From what I've heard, unifi uses some kind of proprietary protocols which the Pico doesn't have. Perhaps someone else can weigh in on this.

If you are talking about a hard drive, I'm kinda partial to WD. I've had a few and none have given me any problem. If LG optical dvd - same comment

Go here to read from WD's site.http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-771434.pdf

Well, I do not know as it seems pretty neatly closed, but there is always the alternative to use an external and/or network accessible drives. That's what I do over a Gigabit network. Good luck.

Can use any, but since it's a NAS, it's probably more advisable to use ones that are optimized for repeated read/writes, a la WD Reds.

Hi. I don´t know yet since I have not been able to use it because I found out that the equipment I bought did not have HDD. I hope that next week I will have ready to be used. However, I bought this brand because a freiend of us has one and has a decent performance for its price.

From past experiences with WD I stopped using them several years ago. Seagate or Hitachi would be a better choice in my opinion.

There's also a photo of the adapter label that displays all of the information on it, Sirik. It's on the initial product page, with the other product photos. I was about to upload one myself, then I saw that a photo is already there... Good luck! It's a very reliable drive with great features!

I am sorry I do not know the ans. I suggest that you contact WD for that information.

They REFUSE to state it! Slimy! From the WD support site: Q: "What kind of hard drive is inside a Western Digital external product?" A: "We can only guarantee drive capacity. We cannot guarantee a particular internal hard drive model, data interface, rotational speed, or cache size in the external hard drive enclosure." http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1704/p/209,488/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ0MDkyMTE3NC9zaWQvX1REbVRidm0%3D

I have no idea other than to say it likely is. Check the specs on your existing drive, and if they're similar, I'd get it. It's a very good, fast and seemingly reliable drive. Easy to install. Do not buy the WD!

New 1.06 FW was just released this morning... with support for 1.5TB drives.I'd watch for problem reports on D-Link's forum for a little while before trusting it with important data, just in case there is a bug.
