Well built Lots of storage options Ultrareliable Quiet Easy to get going
Very few apps available Mobile access could be better Average speeds Flaky software
Disappointingly, the use of the 'Cloud' buzzword on WD's My Cloud EX4 is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, it lets you access your files from afar, but you're going through WD's own servers - so it's technically their cloud and not yours. It's also not all that d...

WD's My Cloud EX4 is a network attached storage device that offers good features and build quality for a small office or home office environment, and it's quite easy to use. However, it took us a few goes before the cloud feature worked for us...

The WD My Cloud EX4 offers data redundancy, Windows Server integration, and an excellent set of personal cloud features. It's also affordable and very easy to use

nicelooking admin interface, relatively easy to setup
slow performance, Mac remoteaccess app requires Java
The bundling of hard disks with NAS enclosure by WD is not the bargain it could be. By selecting the cheapest processor and simplest enclosure, compromises have been made that undermine the performance and versatility of the My Cloud EX4. Marketed on its ...
Easy to use interface and desktop/mobile application, Available with pre-installed drives, Security of data through RAID configuration, Plug-and-play design
Data throughput on local network not as fast as a dedicated local NAS,
PricingThe EX4 is available in one of four versions, three of which come with a set of pre-installed WD Red hard drives ready for near plug-and-play operation, whilst a fourth model comes disk-free, ready for the end-user to install drives of their own ch...
Easy to set up and use thanks to the well-thought-out interface, WD's EX4 is multi-bay NAS provides support for apps such as IceCast (Internet music streaming), Wordpress and Joomla which will appeal to the home user while the more business orientated...
