Western Digital My Cloud DL4100 Business NAS Review

 

Western Digital is a comparatively recent entrant to the fast-growing NAS market. Despite having had a Windows Storage Server-based product for business users for some time now, a custom embedded-Linux based SMB-targeted model was lacking. Avoiding...

Even though the power consumption during the rebuild process is high, the time taken is the lowest amongst all the 4-bay NAS units that we have seen so far. That said, the time take for expanding a 3-disk RAID-5 volume to a 4-disk RAID-5 volume is more...

Western Digital My Cloud NAS device (preview)

 

WD's ‘personal cloud' device looks neat, if not as fluffy as you'd expect

Simple and attractive design ; Its desktop app works well ; Good overall performance on our Gigabit network

We had some problems when initially trying to set up the drive's cloud feature

WD's My Cloud drive is an easy drive to use when you want to store and share data on a home network. It's also meant to be easy to use when you want to access your data over the Internet. Depending on your home network, that last part might be a little...

Good for what it does

 

Simple device, it is not a raid 5 NAS but it has 2 major positive qualities - it is inexpensive and it stores data relatively fast, 30-35 mb/sec on large files, 5-7 mb/sec for many small files, just like any other linux box with Samba would work.
