Had purchased one before Christmas as a gift. Got a price guarantee that i'd get the difference if it fell post Christmas. They are price matching JB's $238.
Should be a JB deal, but I can't change the domain from officeworks to JB in this edit

What's so special about WD My Cloud 4TB? A 3TB external hard drive (WD elements) is $129 RRP at OfficeWorks. $100 for another 1TB… Not sure it is a good buy unless you really want the hardware encryption or the included software.
Elements is a standard external hard drive only and my cloud is actually a network storage that is why it is more expensive.
In case you don't now what a network drive is, you can connect it to your network via wifi/ Ethernet cable and anyone in your network can access to it making it a "cloud" storage.
Most routers have a usb 3.0 or 2.0 port where you can just plug in the external hd.
Those things are horrendously slow even on the most expensive routers
@krisspy: Some routers supporting USB3 are okay. Not as fast as this one. This device needs to be connected to a switch or a router.
Okay, it is just that in the specs page, OfficeWorks did not list Ethernet port.
I hope the power adaptor for this is not too big.
So is this a nas or an external HDD? Would this work as an external Backup HDD for a synology nas?
Doesn't the link and image show the WD MyBook instead of MyCloud as said in the title?
In this case, it isn't very cheap.oops my bad. wrong links. Officeworks has the 4tb nas my cloud drive at $268 which can be pricematched against jb's price of $238 getting a 5% discount coming down to $226.10
Thanks!

Great review here.
Hmm its hard you don't know what your getting with these nas servers. If I had to do it I'd get something Plex compatible.
wont it be better to get it off amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Cloud-WDBCTL0030HWT-3TB-Personal-Stora…) for $189 + shipping (free if paid with amex card)
It would if AUD was as strong as it was last year.
189 USD is about 238 AUD at the moment :(
What drives are in these things?
