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
Limited data redundancy (because there's only one drive). Can't stream media via the cloud

Simple web interface and apps, USB 3.0 port for external storage, WD Red drives designed for NAS use
May not be as easy to get working as intended

Solid build, design, feature-rich mobile apps, economical, expandable storage
Limited cloud functions
It is an economical option to extend the back-up storage capability. With great looks and easy to use features, it performs well.The network storage drive with easy accessability but limited limited cloud functions — Ashok PandeyThe NAS storage device is...
The performance is decent; the lack of noise is the best feature added it also has DLNA and iTunes media server support. It would still be the best option to select from as no other company will offer you the fancy appearance as well as capacity storage u...
Reasonably priced for feature set, good looks and performance, quiet operation, good browserbased user interface
Cludgy, limited functionality of the mobile apps (especially on iOS)
At its price, WD's My Cloud does do a lot more than a standard external hard drive, and packs in a gorgeous design, foolproof setup and good performance to boot – well worth the extra bucks, if you ask us. If you need storage that's available from just ab...
Easy to set up and use, Remote access via mobile apps, Very reasonably priced
Slightly misleading in terms of cloud capabilities
The WD My Cloud is easily the most user-friendly NAS drive we've ever used. We initially considered the remote access feature to be a value-added extra, not its core capability, but wound up using it more often than we thought we would. It's actually quit...
