Crucial MX500 are good, or BX500 slightly cheaper. You’d ideally need 3 of them at a minimum to create a RAID volume, then if one SSD fails you don’t lose all the data, you just replace it and tell the Synology to rebuild

Good question Phil.
I have the same WD My Cloud and also feel that it is not the product I started out with. Don’t really trust WD either.

Morning smuggers

We currently have Western Digital MyCloud spinning disk 2TB network drive, but it’s now too small and, to be honest, it’s always been so Impenetrably complicated to use (it isn’t now even supported by WD’s own desktop app), we've grown actively to despise it.

So, can any of you lovely folk recommend a SIMPLE solid state network storage drive - probably 4TB (no, 6TB, no 8TB….) minimum. We don’t want any unnecessary bells and whistles (like duplicate cloud storage), just something that sits there on the network and is always easily accessible for storage and retrieval without demanding we open an app, jump through obscure hoops, or do some kind of naked storage dance. Surely that’s possible?

Thanks
Phil
