"Passport wireless" or "Cloud". Which one is better?

Hi there.

I’m trying to choose between “WD My cloud” and “WD My passport wireless”.

But I can’t figure it out. Need your help.

Here’s what i’m looking for:

  • I want to the equipment to stay on 24/7. So I’m happy to plug the equopment to a wall outlet (with a usb adapter or a regular one).

  • I need to access the drive wirelessly from all the devices at home.

  • I will *not* be travelling with the device. So don’t specifically need it to run without battery.

  • One of the folders in the drive will be my default download folder for Google Chrome. So all the files should be downloaded to the drive directly.

  • There will be a private and a public folder on the drive. The private work files would only be accessable to me. The files in the public folder can be accessed by anyone.

Keeping that in mind - would you recommend “WD My cloud” or “WD My passport wireless”?

Thanks a ton for your time. :slight_smile:

My Cloud.

" … plug the equopment to a wall outlet (with a usb adapter or a regular one)"> Not certain exactly what usb adapter has to do with 24x7

Using Mc Cloud as a default download folder might prove a bit sluggish.

Only if the internet downlink rate is higher than the PC to MyCloud link rate, surely?  And, with a GBE link, even the MC manages to prevent that, doesn’t it, unless you’ve got ultrafast fibre broadband?
