Hi all,

I have a Zyxel NSA 325 and I have just bought a Western Digital My Cloud as well and they are both plugged into a Netgear GS108T?

I never thought before hand but are they any inherent problems having this sort of setup?

As Steve said, you'll have to remember where you store stuff. But each has its own IP address, so both will coexist just fine on the LAN.

More about features and ease of use than speed.

It does pretty well for performance against similar products in that price range and processor class, too.
Not everyone wants to spend $300 on a diskless two-bay NAS.
