Life of WD My cloud with constant usage

I have started using WD My cloud since last few days.

I have one IP camera where I have done settings so that camera stores images to WD My cloud via FTP. Frequency is 3 images  / second. As a result of this WD my cloud is running continuously (I can hear hard disk sound coming from WD my cloud).

I am worried if WD my cloud is a perfect solution for above setup. Not sure if it will decrease it’s life.

Any body can comment on above?

saurabhaggarwal,

Even though the WD My Cloud was designed for active 24/7 usage, for dedicated surveillance purposes I would recommend the Expert Series WD My Cloud EX2 and WD My Cloud EX4 because of the expanded storage options.
