This NAS product is what I expected. It's very easy to set up, it implements a raid solution connected to a local network. It can be used as a cloud, accessible via the net, and it is a Western Digital product with 'red' disks. Proof of quality.
It's a pity that you can't set a periodicity for backups to USB (like I could do on my old Iomega NAS).
Otherwise, beware of the MyCloud's sleep mode, which may prevent you from connecting, and even force you to reboot (unplug/plug in fact, no reboot button) to access the interface again.
The "internal" network connections are still, strangely enough, operational.
Since I deactivated this sleep mode, everything seems to be fine.
I was able to get it up and running today thanks to the LDLC service technician, at first I didn't have a good configuration.
Clear explanations and immediate operation.
Good online instructions.
I just have to connect it to another computer.
To be continued.
Bought to make my home SIN.
Despite a good speed of 9 Mb/s tested for the occasion, and access to the NAS with a recent & powerful PC, being 1m from my Livebox: Access to photo files is a bit slow and video playback is impossible (jerky, etc...)
I'm in RAID1 (my files are in duplicate, 1 on each disk)...Is it the encryption that alters the playback speed?
I'm not sure if it's the encryption that's affecting the playback speed, but I'm sure it's the encryption that's affecting the playback speed.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the PS3, but it's a good idea to use the PS3 as well.
Product purchased on 23 May 2016, today 26 June 2016 one of the HDDs died.
In addition it is equipped with WD Red so there should not be any problems of this type...
I will contact LDLC after sales service to solve the problem.
