How to determine specific make and model of WD My Cloud for running Plex Server

You have a first gen single bay My Cloud based on the firmware (v04.05.00-315) listed in that screen capture.

One can also compare what their My Cloud looks like to the images listed on the WD Support site:

One can also check the P/N number on the bottom of their My Cloud and perform an internet search for it.

The single bay My Cloud units do not officially support adding the Plex Server app. Unofficially it may be possible if one has a 2nd gen single bay My Cloud.
