What is "last" version firmware for the My Cloud EX2

Here’s what my dashboard currently shows:

If there’s a newer version I should install before the My Cloud shutdown for EX2 units hammer falls early next year, what is it and where can I find it and as things are running OK now, should I even consider installing it?

I have followed the instructions and disabled the My Cloud access already.

Any advice appreciated. Pretty sure I’m going to find an alternative device from another vendor. I’m disappointed that WD has abandoned this product line as it’s served me well for a bunch of years, but seems they are giving me little choice and offering a 20% discount on a new (& considerably more expensive) device like the EX2 Ultra (which given it age I have little confidence WD will stand behind it for many years) is almost a slap in the face followed by a loud “Wake up stupid” thought…

Find an alternative ASAP

I would not update the OS/3 firmware.

Simply turn off “cloud services”; but more importantly. . . from the ROUTER block the NAS from the internet. That will resolve 95%+ of the security vulnerabilities still in OS/3.

For an upgrade. . . . well. . . . bear in mind that “brand b” is a good bit more expensive than the WD equivelent. Also bear in mind. . .you get what you pay for :wink:

WD is sieve for security holes
