Easy to set up, Mobile apps, Desktop apps, Overall design & performance,
Individual user drive quotas would be handy for multiple users (a family or small business)
Despite the popularity of cloud storage services like iCloud, Dropbox, and Google Drive, increasing security and privacy concerns are fueling a desire by many users to keep their important data completely under their own control, rather than trusting it t...
Great Value, Design Language, Super easy to get started.
No search function, Soso access speeds
If you're on the lookout for a office slash home storage device that you can remotely access your data from, this one's much recommended! Albeit for work, one with a heavier capacity...
The WD My Cloud 3 TB is an excellent option if you are looking for an affordable, feature-rich NAS for home or small office use.It is simple to install and configure, which is an excellent characteristic for this kind of product. It can be accessed from o...

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...
Easy to setup and manage, Accessible from anywhere using desktop and mobile apps, Good looking and well constructed design, Supports USB and network backups, iTunes music and DLNA media servers, USB 3.0 expansion port, Gigabit Ethernet, Quiet operation, R
Mediocre read and write speeds, Hard drive is not removable, Does not support offsite backups
Super simple plug-in-and-go setup, USB 3.0 for expansion, Mobile app auto-sync is pretty slick, WD2GO system makes users not have to think about how to get to their data
Seemingly no way to opt out of WD2GO, Horrible issues getting WD2GO to work on OS X, Unable to connect remotely on OS X, Two year warranty when the drive instead normally has a three year warranty, Suggested Improvements, Fix the OS X issues, — Get away
WD is clearly attempting to compete with online services with this and its other cloud storage offerings. The main selling proposition is that you can spend $150-$250 and have really fast local storage at home and easily-accessed storage from anywhere el...

Looking at the overall features and performance, the WD My Cloud 2TB is a pretty good single drive NAS setup. The storage performs well within the limitation of the TCP/IP protocol, Windows and/or Mac backups are reliable and cloud access is functional, e...

$150 gets you a $100 drive and a pretty solid $50 NAS, Great performance for its class, Simple to use interface makes set-up easy, Fanless design means it's incredibly quiet
No per share size limits means you might fill your drive with Time Machine backups, Not for a power user interested in micromanaging their storage, Mobile apps lack quick file finding features, No official Linux support
