WD My Cloud mini NAS

Post by J.D. »

Bought a 4TB one of these last week from JBHiFi for $298.

For what it's worth, it runs on a BSD OS and has 512MB of RAM and that's all I know about it.

Yep, it's a single HDD and there's no RAID. WD have a sort of restore point system a bit like Windows but I haven't tried it yet.

At the moment it's connected to my router and will be the main location for my movies. Since I'm copying them uncompressed to the NAS, they will need all the space I can get.

I'm not going down the WD Live path either. It will not read VOB files so I'm sticking with my ASRock Ion/XBMCBuntu HTPC which handles them really well.

Hopefully this will last me until I can afford an EX4 in a few years.
