What should I buy

Hi, I have been watching this forum for a little while as I am considering purchasing a My Cloud. I had thought about a Synology NAS as they seem to get a good writeup, but they are more expensive than the My Cloud.

 

I am concerned about the problems of connecting the My Cloud to the WD server that I have read here and elsewhere. Is this still a problem? 

 

Is there anything else that I should be aware of before I purchase? 

 

Is there any difference between the 3TB & 4TB models, as I seem to recall that the 4TB model is less reliable.

 

Thanking you in anticipation.  Neil.

Not clue about realiability, but most issues are PEBKAC or unrealistic expectations of a NAS with a slow CPU.  Above is a guide I wrote to cut through the BS.
