Easy maintenance
Adding or replacing one of the pre-installed drives is as easy as changing a light bulb.
Just open the door and swap out the drives and WD Sentinel does the rest. It seamlessly
migrates the server to the appropriate RAID level and automatically expands the servers storage
capacity. Your users can still access your business data while the drive is being integrated.
No data loss. No down time.
Secure remote access
WD Sentinel is perfect for businesses with employees working in satellite or home offices
because you have the security of knowing all your business files are safely stored in one place and
remote employees can access them from any computer with an Internet connection. WD Sentinel also
performs automatic daily backups so all of the files on all the computers in your network are backed
up and protected.
Realtime system status through the administration Dashboard
View realtime updates for drive, RAID and network status through WD Sentinel's Dashboard,
which includes easy-to-use task wizards to help you set backup schedules, administer user
accounts and manage public and private shares.
LCD display panel readily offers critical information
The LCD display panel on the front of the device allows you to monitor the system status and
critical alerts.

easily manage the setup, administration and deployment of iSCSI storage capabilities.
When using the iSCSI Target UI within the administration Dashboard and the built-in security of
WD Sentinel, IT Pro's and advanced users have the ability to partition their WD Sentinel for both NAS,
file-based storage as well as IP-SAN, with the iSCSI Target solution powered by StarWind®. T
his capability enables the administrator to create multiple iSCSI targets to meet the specific
needs of their dynamic IT environments.
Stream digital media anywhere in your network
With the built-in DLNA media server your employees can access any shared media libraries on the
