WD has realized that NAS storage certainly doesn't have to be a gadget for geeks and computer tech guys, as the My Cloud Home is as effortlessly easy to get up and running as you could wish for. That means in the unlikely event of one hard disk failing, the other still has a copy of all your files.Īccessing and storing files from a remote location is also no problem as the built-in software allows you to use the drive as an FTP server, and the drive can be set to make automatic backups. This allows you to configure the two hard disks within to operate in parallel, so two copies of your files are automatically stored, one copy on each disk. If you do want to get more techy, the drive also boasts RAID capabilities. The deals we've got are for the base 4TB capacity, which is plenty for most users, but you can spec up to 16TB of space if you're a heavy user. The My Cloud EX2 Ultra is already equipped with hard drives, so there are no unpleasant extra costs to be incurred.

The beauty of the WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra is how easy it is to set up and use, with no unnecessary or confusing initial settings to navigate.

Some NAS drives can be intimidating if you're new to the NAS game, filled with advanced features you'll likely never need.
