Charmed by the design (despite the fact that it still goes into the meter box) and when turning it on I noticed that the My Cloud Home is very quiet. But then comes the installation configuration. I can imagine that this puts people off, a manual or even quick reference card is missing! All you will find is a link to the MyCloud website where you can connect to your MyCloud Home. Although this goes smoothly, I can imagine that many users drop out spontaneously. You will only discover what is possible when you install various Apps. But just transferring your old content to the MyCloud Home will initially not work without an App (in my case iOS/Apple). Anyway, after some research (long live Google) I managed to configure the MyCloud Home (with Plex, among others). It does what it's supposed to do and I'm just happy with it.

Super NAS for the average user. All your files are conveniently located in a central place that you can always access. Another advantage is that the DUO variant stores your files on two disks. In addition, with the PLEX support you can easily show your photos/movies on other devices with a PLEX app. Very easy to install, thanks to Western Digital's extensive documentation.

remote storage and access from any device, including mobile worth it if you need the necessary storage but don't want to take it everywhere
