  1. Do periodically update firmware. . . . . Never be the first to upgrade firmware. Never have “autoupdate” enabled.

  2. Static IP works best. . but set this from the Router, not the NAS.

  3. Regularly backup the NAS to another device. Remember that it’s a single box. . .and single boxes can fail.

  4. Having cloud services enabled is questionable for a WD device.

  5. You might not want it running 24/7/365 if you are not using it 24/7/365
