Western Digital's My Cloud has done more than any other device to popularise the idea of a NAS as a personal cloud, and you won't find a cheaper or smaller way of getting one up and running.

The WD My Cloud is a hard drive that connects to the web via your home network. Here's our WD My Cloud review.

It's more than a little disingenuous to call WD's latest storage product the ‘My Cloud'. Touted as a "cloud of your own" in the marketing bumpf, it's really no different than many other internet accessible NAS devices we've reviewed in the past.

Installed easily on two computers on the home network but it took an incredible amount of time for the first back-up to complete - 36 hours for 941GB over a wired Gigabit system!!! Way too slow.

If you are looking for a device to back up photos and video from iPhone, skip my cloud. It's been months since apple switched to this HEIC file format, they haven't come up with any updates to support it. You can't even open the HEIC files or view thumbnails in the app.

Looks like a great idea, but the product is so unreliable that we've basically just stopped using it. I've had to factory reset it twice (on customer services recommendation), which wipes out all user accounts. My partner hasn't been able to log in to it since the first week we had it.

Arrived with 2 days of ordering and all I am say this is so simple to use - plug in, download app and either drag and drop from a PC or upload via phone or tablet ...... get one they are great

Now that it is set up, both my lap-top and my desk-top p.c.s are automatically backed up daily. I can also access the files from either p.c. on both p.c.s, which is very useful, as there are some files that need to be shared.
