    It all works very well, and, as it’s a NAS device, you can access your files from anywhere as long as you’ve got an Internet connection and a remote access account. This is great for use with the Seagate Media app for iOS, which allows you access to the files stored on the drive from your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
