I’m trying see if I should purchase a WD Diskless My Cloud EX2.
I own a MacBook and I have a time capsule. The time capsule just seems to run slow all the time and doesn’t capture all the files I transfer to it. I came across the my cloud by WD and this seems like the perfect option for me. I’ve been buying external hard drives for 10years just to back up photos, videos, and movies. I also have a 2tb WD my passport ultra and a 1tb seagate portable hard drive. Can i put these hard drives together into the diskless my cloud or will it not fit? Also these two external drives were formatted for when I had a windows pc but now I switched over to mac, so if it does fit will it work with my mac?
or should i just purchase a my cloud with drivers included?
Generally the diskless multi-bay My Cloud units support and are designed for 3.5 inch desktop sized hard drives. They apparently do not include brackets for 2.5 inch laptop/SSD hard drives. But that doesn’t mean one couldn’t attempt to use 2.5 inch drives in the diskless multi-bay units. Its possible there may be more discussion on using 2.5 inch drives in the dedicated EX2 subforum. Here is one such discussion:
And you may want to read through/search through the dedicated EX2 subforum where people more familiar with the EX2 may be able to assist. This subforum (My Cloud) is mostly for the single bay/single drive My Cloud devices.
