Very unsatisfied with WD My Cloud!

My Cloud Home My Cloud Home Single Bay

This month I bought a new iMAC i9 27’’ with 64GB RAM and a WD My Cloud 4TB.

First thing I hate: There is a process called KDD that is running all the time and wasting all the CPU performance. I noticed that my iMAC fan was always running since I installed WD Discovery. After I close the app, the fans go off and cpu % returns to normal.

2nd:
The HDD used in myclound is very slow! I have WD my cloud and iMAC connected directly to the router via network cable (not wifi) and file transfers are slow as on WIFI connection!

3rd:
I could install the WD Discovery app on my iMAC with Mojave with no problems, but on my MacBook with OS Catalina the app simply does not work! I tried one recommended version that I found on this forum, I could install it , but the app does not install MyCloud folder on my desktop and I simply can’t access my files, only on web browser.

If there’s not a bug fix for this issues in next days I will return this ■■■■.

:frowning: I am very dissapointed with this.

Take it back. I’ve had min for a few years and I hate it. The user interface is VERY slow and I’ve never really trusted it.

New user here. It’s garbage. Did not expect such utterly garbage software being required to us what was advertised as a plug n’play NAS drive. Can’t access it over my local directly using File Explorer. Will never buy another WD product.
