Before I can decide with of the “WD MY Cloud” is the right device for me (before I buy it) I have some questions:
-
Did the “My Cloud Mirror” also support the shutdown mode and WOL. (There is no dedicated hint in the datasheets of the “My Cloud Mirror”.)
-
How did the “My Cloud” decide to shut down:
- Is there a timeout without accesses to the “My Cloud”?
- Or how did the “My Cloud” recognize that there are no other devices on the LAN that want to access to the Storage?
- How did it works with Win7-PC, Samsung TV and android tablets and different mobile phones?
- Or it is only possible the set one fix Power Schedule to define the power down time?
- How did the WOL works:
- Is there a power over Ethernet (POE) necessary?
- Or is there a tool (or APP) on every device necessary that send cyclic a keep alive telegram over LAN?
- In the user manual I read something about the “WD Quick View”.
- And it is possible to wake up the “My Cloud” with WOL outside of the Start-Time (Power Schedule)?
- Is the power consumption of the “My Cloud Mirror” the same as in the Technical Specifications of the “My Cloud EX2”?
- Power off (WOL enable): 1.05W
- Standby mode: 10.2W
- Idle mode: 16.7W
- Full operation: 21.3W
Can somebody answer me these questions (short answers are sufficient) or is there a document that describes the energy saving behavior for this devices?
Thank your for your effort.
