My Book Live or My Cloud?

I am new here so hello to everyone :slight_smile:

For last few months I want to buy WD Book Live 3TB but then My Cloud appear. I really don’t need the cloud things, I only want to have no problems with playing 3D HD 1080p movies over the LAN and maybe some transcoding of DTS audio because my TV can’t play it. So which one would be better for me, My Cloud or Book Live? I though that My Cloud is far faster (dual core etc) but I found on one review that Book Live is faster in file read. 

I am a little bit confused so many thanks in advance for any help.

Best Regards
Andrew

Neither, if you require transcoding.   Neither NAS does that.

The reviewer may have had slower access on the Cloud, but that’s certainly not the norm…
