Review: The worst WD product I have EVER purchased! - IT’S SIMPLE – IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR VALUABLE DATA, DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE! I run my own technology consultancy business and travel the world with WD portable hard drives in their respective CaseLogic hard cases in my suitcase. They have been all over the world with me in the luggage holds of aircraft travelling to the USA, Europe and beyond. They are reliable, solid and have NEVER let me down. So much so, I now own SIX of them. So, when I saw the WD MyCloud Home, I thought to myself, this would be a great addition to my WD collection, allowing me to use the cloud when travelling, and backing up important business data at home, in the cloud too. As it was, I have just purchased a new MacBook Pro and I needed storage for ALL the data from the HDD of my old MacBook Pro, so this was ideal. It showed up as a mapped drive and could act as a data server. Upon purchase, it was incredibly easy to set up. I plugged it in, set up an account and off I went, loading it with business data, that I could access in the desktop app, in a browser, even on my iPhone or my iPad. Now, trust me, I have run my business for nearly TWENTY years, and I only buy quality equipment with a good reputation. You get what you pay for, as they say, and I thought that paying around £150 for 4TB of storage was a pretty good deal. Not cheap, but then again, not expensive, and I have always held the WD brand is high regard because of their sensible pricing and quality products. That was until 2 days ago, when my WD MyCloud Home simply died. And it died with the entire HDD contents of my older MacBook Pro on it. Luckily, most of that content now resides on my new MacBook Pro, but there were archives in there from older clients, older projects, that I will NEVER get back, which really does piss me off. Yes, I am pissed off about this. Thoroughly pissed off. I have been in touch with WD Support, and Jack has been amazing. Patient, helpful, calling me back. I cannot fault the WD support team, but when they have to tell me that the device has failed and I will never get the data back, I seriously question why WD released the device to market. I was considering putting ALL my family photographs on there last week. If I had done so, I would have lost EVERYTHING, as I would have removed them from the likes of the iPhone, iPad and even the MacBook. The thought of that kind of sentimental loss makes my blood boil. WD are a market leader in data storage. Why, oh why, release a product that does this? Jack from WD Support and I tried EVERYTHING to try to connect to the device. We changed ethernet cables, we connected it directly to my MacBook, all the above, we tried it over a period of about two hours, but nothing. The device won’t power up properly, and when you log in via the WD Discovery app, it just shows as offline, with a message saying the device is offline or rebooting. We tried a hard reset, but again, NOTHING. WD have offered me a replacement device. Sure, that’s great. The existing one is dead, so a new one is due under the warranty. But that WON’T get my data back. Nor will it get my money back from desertcart, as I am now out of the 30-day period. Sure, you might say that I should have another backup. Well, I do. I use iDrive as a cloud-based backup tool, and I also have the majority of the data that was one the WD MyCloud Home on a WD portable hard drive, but it still DOES NOT excuse WD from the fact that this device FAILED and it was less than FOUR MONTHS old! All it has done is sit on the same shelf as my internet router since it was set up. It has not been dropped. It has not been unplugged. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. So, the warning is right there at the beginning of this review. DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE! If you have any data you value, DO NOT PUT IT ON ONE OF THESE DEVICES! Period, full stop, end of story. (PS – If there was a ZERO rating for this device, it would have got a big ZERO).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any good as a plex movie server playing via nvidia shield?**
A: It's not ideal. You can only use the default TV Movie Music Picture libraries, you can't add your own, and your files need to be in specific Plex folders. It's a very watered down Plex server with very poor transcoding. I dismantled mine after a month and I'm now looking at a better brand. Also, doesn't work well with Mac OS.

**Q: Can this be used as a purely local nas in a standalone lan with no internet access?**
A: can not as it is not a NAS drive. Its a Cloud Storage Drive where each usage has their own private storage and requires access to Western Digital servers at all time. Which is ideal if its shared usages and main use is for backup pictures and videos taken on mobile phones

**Q: Will this work with plex and run smoothly if 2 people are accessing at the same time on 2 separate apple tvs? about 215mbps download speed, 12mpbs up**
A: The device spec suggests that the device data transfer rate is 500-600 MBs but on my home network all my WD devices are limited to around 100Mbs (ie 1 hour of data in 10 secs).
I prefer to use Kodi rather than Plex but I have certainly been able to have three concurrent streams sending video around my home network.  
Of course it depends on what other load you have on your devices and network.

**Q: Can I use it as backup cloud for my iPhone or iPad?**
A: Hi there, yes you can use the My Cloud Duo for back up of all your devices although if that's all you going to use it for you don't need 3 TB, product if available with different size memory.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For all your digital home storage needs!
*by D***2 on 19 September 2024*

It's ideal for all your basic digital home storage needs such as Video, Music, pictures and backups for your tablet, phone and PC depending what you have on your PC and what size you get. The dimensions are about the size of a nintendo wii height and width is about half the size of a nintendo wii. As shown in the pictures It's really easy to set up and upload your stuff on, and would highly recommend buying one 👌 if like me you would like that piece of mind in making sure your digital footprint is backed up. If you have a lot of stuff that needs to be backed up I would recommend the 6TB and above. Though overall a nice piece of kit to have for the price 👌
