This is an excellent addition to anyone with multiple computers in the household who need a place to backup their data to. It is also an easy receptacle for saving hundreds of videos to use in your theatre room or man-cave. All you have to do is plug in the power and attach an ethernet patch cord to your router, and then just treat it like a thumb drive that is plugged into the computer your using.
Functions as any drive. I did not realize that because this is a RAID drive, whatever you storage you select is functionally halved. I bought the 8TB drive and it has 4TB storage, backed up internally. Cool feature, just wish I had know so I could have purchased the 16TB.
Overall I am happy with the performance of this drive, but I am very dissappointed that after upgrading to OS 5, I lost the support of WebDAV and the ability to connect to the drive without an internet connection. Two primary reasons I bought the drive in the first place. I am happy enough with WD that I'm choosing to keep it still, in hopes that they will update the firmware to include this in the future.
The drive is easy to set up, but linking all the computers is another story. When I called the helpdesk I got someone who spoke very broken English and very difficult to understand. I need to call back because I am not getting errors telling me my drive is full. I only have 500 gigs on my laptop, so how can it be full after not even loading 1/2 of what is on my laptop to a 8TB drive? Crazy!
While I think that the system has great features and find the NAS easy to use, it is not a stable device. RAIDs seem to easily get corrupted and crash. The system is generally fragile. Any interruption of power will destabilize the system and cause your drives to register inconsistently as in good condition or bad. My concern is that the fragility of this device puts your data a risk. I have a My Cloud EX2 and had the same problems, which I hoped that would be addressed in the EX2 Ultra. It wasn't. I hope that the My Cloud team will improve the reliability of this product. It is functionally good, but stability and reliability is much more important.
The device itself setup was easy, plug & play disk installation. However, the network setup is still ongoing (10+ days). My previous EX2 was easy, so I think setup for EX2 Ultra has degraded. Windows 10 21H2. MyCloud.com/setup wants to copy all data to the Cloud. I don't want that. I just want a simple local network storage. Authentication protocols default to mismatch Win-10 (security reasons). It was trial & error setup all the way. There remain inconsistencies from my other two WD NAS devices. Support will send you tons of links to common issues, but you'll have to wade through them all and hope to find one that actually helps. EX2 Ultra works fine once you get it connected.
I like My Cloud EX2 Ultra, but not happy with being obligated to upgrade from my old EX2. One of the biggest problem with this upgrade is the lack of providing a way to transfer almost 4TB of data from the old unit to the new one. When you force us purchasing your upgrade, at least devise plan to assist data transfer.
This is absolute garbage. If I could give it 0 stars I would. It has shown a faulty drive 1, 3 times in row. I swap out the drive, it works for a few weeks then the same problem reoccurs.
When I tried to register the drive the S/N came up invalid. It appears that either the factory never input it or Walmart is selling bootleg merchandise. I am currently fighting with Western Digital (Horrible customer service!) about either getting it registered or replacing it. I wrote to their CEO. I may have to return this one to Walmart.
I bought this to replace a deprecated MyCloud EX2. I assumed that it would have all of the capabilities of the earlier model - just more security. I got the unit, set it up. Moved it to the remote office (an optometrist's office) and saved data (photos of patients' corneas and retinas taken during exams) to it. I then returned to my office to download the files to the off-site backup device (which I had done with the earlier model). Much to my surprise, I couldn't download the backup folders. I called tech support and was told that I could download individual files - but not folders. With thousands of photos of eyes and the databases linking them, this would be totally impractical. I am returning the unit!
