    Seagate Debuts Five Small-Biz NASes

    WD has proven for years now that they are not able to produce a decent NAS firmware. WD MyCloud is a nightmare. A month ago they broke their negative record by introducing a firmware with 64K RAM pages that showed bad side effects and forced a lot of unhappy users to downgrade to the...

    WD Goes For Two (Bays) With New My Cloud NAS

    Only naïve users would publish such advertizing stuff of a company to prove a technical point. Fact is, that MyCloud single drive does have a Raid-1 as is shown by CL1:~# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sda2[1] sda1[0] 1999808 blocks [2/2] [UU] That...

    WD Goes For Two (Bays) With New My Cloud NAS

    I have not done exact statistics but from reading their forum in the past months I have seen many times desperate users who suddenly lost connection to the LAN. For some of them interrupting power for a few seconds helps to reboot and establish a connections. Others have no luck and the box...

    WD Goes For Two (Bays) With New My Cloud NAS

    I have found out too late: WD MyBook firmware still has major bugs several years after launch, it's production has stopped and most probably it will remain as is... WD MyCloud firmware, more than 5 months after launch, is very unstable. I have analyzed part of it and found pieces of...

    WD Tightens Focus On Home Personal Clouds

    I might laugh about you not seeing that it is not only a question of unnecessary power consumption (I know that in the US most people do not care ; ). It is also aging of the drive which has a limited number of hours (mtbf). Bingo?

    WD Tightens Focus On Home Personal Clouds

    After reading the announcement in SNB I recently bought a My Cloud 3TB and yes, it worked out of the box, but the design is badly flawed: a) The drive never goes into power saving mode. This means that it runs 24 hours per day continuously consuming 11W! Acceptable would be "non spinning...
