Hi Dane It's great to see you back again enlivening the list with interesting contributions. I have a ReadyNAS NAS but they changed the browser interface a while back and it is largely inaccessible and so very difficult to configure. How easy is the MyCloud to configure and are the apps mentioned in the review accessible?

I recently bought one of these drives and my only comment is that I'm really sorry I didn't buy one earlier. The WD My Cloud has a whole variety of uses including the storage and sharing of audio/video files around your house using DLNA and so on. Before the WD My Cloud drive came along I was using USB drives hanging off the Asus RTN56U rooter, whilst this method of sharing media was affective the speed was very slow. With the WD My Cloud connected directly to the Rooter I've fround speed has increased even to the point where the WD My Cloud can be carrying out several data operations at one time without any drop in performance, for example a backup from the Windows PC and the Mac can be going on whilst you access your favourite tracks from a Playlist with your Android Phone or whatever. The following review outlines and describes many of the drives capabilities. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/laptops/reviews/wd-my-cloud-review-versatile-and-user-friendly-552860 -- ********** Those who need help are those who are prepared to help themselves
