Start the new year with an additional 40TB of storage to store all those Linux ISOs!
CamelCamelCamel.
Yes, any degree of putting something together yourself would be cheaper and better.
But this is for people that just need something done and built without any hassles.
Really popular with less tech savvy businesses and wannabe influencers
You don't need to put anything together yourself - the Synology 923 and 2 x 20TB HDDs is just as ready to go as this unit.
Get the Synology, drop the drives into the slots, and power it on. Done.
Very poor value for money.
Totally agree with all the above comments. I'm a Synology fan myself. But yea, for those who are loyal to WD, this may be an option/consideration.
they are good with hardware, but i wont trust WD in software tho, they remove my cloud OS 3 devices support, and were also hacked leaking so many customer's data (from their my cloud system)
External USB stick is all you need…trolllling lol
I won't use WD myCloud software.
They will always find a way piss u off with their software.
They wont give you a like lifetime software support with same features. They'll keep reducing your software features with time.
that bad…
Buy a cheap new or used PC for $200-500.
Install two 18-20G hard drives for about $900-1000 (see recent Amazon deal etc.).
Install OpenMediaVault, or TrueNAS, free.
Install Tailscale or CloudFlare for remote access with top notch security, free.
Rip your owned media with MakeMKV, free.
Install Jellyfin to watch your own media, free.
Install MediaElch to handle metadata, free.
Install Tailscale or CloudFlare for remote access with top notch security, free.
No, dont use CloudFlare for that especially on NAS to access media files etc (high bandwidth content) they can ban your account.
Sorry my reply didn't end up as a reply for some reason.
@USER DC: Good to know! Must be because their stuff goes through proxies/caching to speed up websites.
Tailscale doesn't do any proxy/cache stuff but is a direct connection once the initial connection stuff is done. Can also use ZeroTier or TwinGate similarly for free.
@katsuya: There are plenty of providers that don't use cgnat - it's not something you need to deal with.
If you've got things inside your network that you want to connect to from outside, then cgnat is not for you 👍
@katsuya: Yes, that’s one of the advantages of overlay networks - another popular one is ZeroTier.
Even if you’re not behind CGNAT, Tailscale and ZeroTier make it so you don’t have to do any port forwarding.
@skittlebrau: Tailscale, Zerotier and TwinGate all do this.
Can't remember the full details for the others but Tailscale is built on WireGuard, which is similar to OpenVPN but more efficient in terms of overhead.
All three handle all the navigating through firewalls, NAT, etc, as well as many other similar features.
I believe all 3 have clients on most platforms.
I am currently using Tailscale across Linux (including a Docker image), Windows, Android and OpenWrt without any problems. I don't find any significant battery drain on Android. The only problem on OpenWrt is that the ipkg install is big, so routers with limited storage won't be great candidates. I believe Zerotier is much smaller but slower in terms of throughput.
I have previously used Zerotier but not for about 2 years since I got onto Tailscale.
There are also similar but more complicated, or maybe less sophisticated, protocols like ngrok
I have not heard that about CloudFlare, but I happily use Tailscale.
Install syncthing for backup to NAS, free.
I thought this is OzBargain, not OzRipOff?
What a rip off! I got a QNAP TS-464-8GB for $721 @ Amazon (back to min $839 now) a week ago, installed 2x 2TB Team Cardea Z440 and 2 Seagate recertified X22 22tb much cheaper than this outdated processored WD (AU is always the dumping ground for CN/US/EU etc from cars to…..)
Checkout ServerPartDeals.com Cheaper than Neology and Ebay with cheaper postage - ordered 29/12/23 received 2 x X22 232TB 3.1.24 …
Surely a Synology 923 and 2 x 20TB HDDs is better, with rooms for further capacity?
