Abstract: Western Digital, or WD as it is referred to by friends and family, is best known for its hard disk products in various formats. It is therefore not surprising that the company’s next product is based on one of its hard drives. Basically this is a metho...

Abstract: A development of its previous WD 2go and My Book Live products, the My Cloud offers a fire-and-forget home NAS solution, in 2TB, 3TB or 4TB capacities. With additional extra cloud functionality, Western Digital offers an alternative to extending your Drop...
Brings a service similar to Dropbox to your own home but with greater capacity and at a lower price. Has all the functions of a home media server with the ability to go mobile. Flawlessly simple.
Storage comes on a single hard drive
At this point it might have become clear we're big fans, and that's because we are. It has all but replaced Dropbox for us because the capacity is so much greater for the price; it replaced a media server, because it allowed us to stream media regardles...
Excellent performance. 2TB of storage accessible via the cloud (or 3 or 4TB with larger versions). Expandable via USB 3.0 port. DLNA and iTunes media server support

FormFactor, Easy to Install, AC plug with switchable sockets for different region
Slow transfer speed via LAN for a gigabit ethernet, Lack of Security Features, Manual network setting not possible during WD My Cloud Dashboard installation, No physical switches for power on/off and data copy to HDD, Dropbox sync only works with WD Smart
It's a local cloud storage- nothing more and nothing less. But LAN transfer is slow. Either with static or dynamic IP setup. It does not have same functionality and features that you see even with basic single-bay NAS drive.But even if you look at this as...
Ignoring Time Machine issues, I'm very happy with the My Cloud. It's easy to set up and has great documentation. The iPhone/iPad apps work well, and there's no stuttering when I stream videos or music to my MacBook Pro or Roku boxes. I love the ability to...
