Hello, I am new to this forum, so please redirect /repost this question if necessary.
My wife and I both use windows based PC’s and would like tohave one place to keep photo’s , music and movies for access at a later date or for sharing on our Android based tablets.
I have porchased a My Pasport Ultra 1tb I’d plan to hook up to the router. I was told that was not the way to go instead get a WD My Cloud. I want to know what is the best way to accomplish what we want and also the best and easiest way to do it ?
Thank You
PS. Please forward or direct me to any previous post to help me.
Hi mjbarr3, welcome to the WD Community. With the My Cloud you can keep all of your files in a single place and access them locally or from a remote location. Check the My Cloud info page for more on this.
You have different options. Several routers offer NAS type access to an attached USB drive (Asus, among others). The key is the performance. Unless you have a very recent router, the USB performance **bleep** and you would be better off with a dedicated NAS like the WD MyCloud.
Ok, So, you are saying that the My Cloud will do what I am looking to do Is that correct ? If so I will be following the links and trying to set it up .
