Western Digital My Cloud DL4100 Business NAS Review

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

Western Digital-Great network device
Easy to install and great way for me to stream my huge movie collection to view anywhere I'd like. Downside, it can only be expanded once up to 3T for a total of 7T.

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.
