Review on πŸ’Ύ Enhance Your Cloud Storage Experience with WD 4TB My Cloud Home Personal Cloud by Kathy Genova

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Plex, don't buy - High speeds, don't buy

I bought this drive to use exclusively with Plex. I understood that my cloud home is my cloud upgrade, not . WD advertises that Plex can and can be used, but horribly. To use a Plex server you sacrifice more than half the features of a Plex membership, your load times are very slow and most importantly if for some reason you buy the 8TB version you lose 1TB for software or something he otherwise deems necessary. 1TB of storage space? Yes, and I'm still baffled as to why any drive thinks it needs 1TB of space. I would take it back or send it back but by the time I had uploaded the 5TB video and set up my Plex it had been about 3 weeks and my return time had expired. My WD Cloud is much better, faster and I had to buy another one. I'm very disappointed and wouldn't recommend this to anyone who uses it for Plex or wants speed or doesn't even want to lose the 1TB of storage you paid for.
