I bought a My Cloud 3TB device. It’s connected to a Linksys 6300 router, and succesfully initialized - users, shares are created without problem. I’m using it with Macs. After the setup, i copied 30.000 pictures onto the device, an it’s looks unstable. Many times happened, that the device is not accesible from finder, and not accessible from web browser too. I tried to access the device with it’s name, and with IP adress too. The router can’t see the device, but the béue led is on. After re-plug the power jack, the device restarting, works again great, for hours. After hours (various - happened, that the drive freezes after 20 minutes, and happened, that can be onlien for one day), it’s freezes again. Nothing solved the problem, just the plug out-and-in the power jack.
Previously I read the forum, and set up static IP address outside my router’s DHCP range, and turned off the sleep feature (but i’m afraid about it: if the the drive never sleep, this dramatically drop it’s lifetime, will crash earlier). After it, i turned off all media services - I want to use the device as a NAS, that is reachable throught the internet - doesn’t need any movie streaming fature. These things are not solved the problem, the device keeps freezing.
Can anybody tell any helping advice, how can I stop the device freezing? As it working now - have to restart it 3 or 4 times a day - it’s not good. When it’s works, it’s a very good device - i can reach my content from my computers, and from my iPad too, but this always-need-to-restart thing is flustrating. And, I’m not sure, that my data is safe on a device, that need to power off and power on 3 or 4 times a day.
