The my cloud personal network attached storage unit is one of the best purchases i recently made for my software development business.

Wd my cloud personal storage review.

The wd my cloud is western digital s answer to the seagate central which came out five months ago. It worked well enough there and it does so again here though the absence of a physical on off button from the basic my cloud home does seem like an odd omission given that the plus sized duo. For this single bay wd my cloud the focus is entirely upon usability and content sharing two significant challenges often seen in the small nas space. Over the years wd has refined the my book design and it translates well to my cloud with.

The wd mycloud a great device that can transform your approach to home storage. On pure price it doesn t compare favourably with a standard external hard drive because of the multitude of extra features on offer. Available with multiple storage capacities wd s flagship personal cloud storage unit is built to be both family friendly and powerful rivaling the capabilities of pricier nas devices while. This is no bad thing.

It s fairly minimalist borrowing the same solid but striking white and textured silver design seen in wd s latest my passport range portable hard drives. The new network attached storage server was worth the wait however offering by far the fastest. It s also an entirely new class of device whose potential is frustratingly obfuscated by an unintuitive setup process. Wd is certainly offering plenty of space.

In my office i have 12 computers that previously shared data using window home server 2011 which is no longer a supported product.
