Review on Western Digital My Cloud Home 2 TB NAS (WDBVXC0020HWT) white/grey by Micha Kaczmarczyk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

In order to understand whether I need a NAS, as well as to store my home photo / video archive, I bought this device. I immediately installed debian on it according to instructions from w3bsit3-dns. Com user forth32, and then an optimized build from docent778. Now the NAS stands next to the router and quietly downloads torrents (I upload them through a network folder), stores photos and videos, and streams movies to a TV via Wifi (the main purpose). Set up Syncthing to sync with your computer. I upload photos from two iOS/Android phones by wire - via Syncthing they are uploaded to the NAS via Wi-Fi - quickly and conveniently. Now I'm thinking about what else to load it with . I recommend buying it to those who have never had a NAS in their life and who are not ready to give 25k for Synology or QNAP without disks. This model has a much more powerful processor than its single-disk competitors.

Pros
  • The ability to roll Debian and have a full-fledged single-disk NAS running OMV. Debian opens the door to creativity
Cons
  • Without Debian - money thrown to the wind. Is it to play around and take out the disc
