Does anyone use Seagate Personal Cloud NAS drive and time machine? I have the 4Tb version and want to use it with time machine.

I currently use it for storing files etc, and as a Plex server for Apple TV. How does time machine work with it? Can you limit the size it uses for TM? I don't want to use it just for TM but also what I currently use it for.

I know it may be slow initially to back up, but afterwards would only be small changes. I know you can use an external USB, but for convenience I don't want to, I'd rather it WiFi backup, maybe initially I'd do it wired though.

Thanks
