| Question: | I want to back up all of my dvd's. will this hook up to my smart tv since it has usb ports? also, i have wifi and not ethernet. will it still work |
| Answer: | No, I'm afraid it's a very thick gage aluminum, and not flexible at all. That's our problem with where my wife wants it. She wants it coming out of the gutter on our Aluminum Patio Cover, but the gutter is built into it with no access from the top. So we're having to look at other possible locations for it. |
| Question: | how much storage space come with this device |
| Answer: | I only used the chain and this adapter |
| Question: | Can you install a 10gb nic in here |
| Answer: | Yes, I use a fairly heavy chain. As long as your gutter is sturdy. |
| Question: | How secure is this against malicious attacks? Does it have a firewall and anti-virus software |
| Answer: | About 2 1/4”. It comes with a reinforcing plate the exact size so you can oversized the hole you make in the gutter and that way it easily fits in. Use some roof cement to fasten and seal the plate and the gutter spout to the bottom of the gutter. |

User questions & answers
| Question: | Can it be used as a datastore for esxi or backup VMs |
| Answer: | Technically you can but not recommended. You will likely get terrible performance because the CPU and memory is not designed for this use case. 512MB RAM is very low for a datastore. This model is really geared towards traditional file sharing and media streaming. You want something with higher CPU and read/wrtie caching like the DS218/DS218+. |
| Question: | Is the memory upgradable |
| Answer: | No, the DS220j only supports 512MB |
| Question: | what physical size harddrives can be used |
| Answer: | Carlos is correct. 16tb is the limit of the ds218j or 8tb in raid configuration and the DS220j is 2ea 12 Tb for a total of 24Tb or 12Tb, in used in a raid situation. |
| Question: | If single drive is installed initially, then 2nd drive is added later. does raid 1 get configured? or does both drive need to be installed together |
| Answer: | I installed one drive initially, and then added a second drive later. The second drive was automatically added as a Raid 1 drive. |

User questions & answers
| Question: | Is this drive smr if so i don't want it |
| Answer: | No, it’s not. All Ironwolf and Itonwolf pro drives are SMR free, according to Seagate |
| Question: | Does any one know a case where 3 could fit inside |
| Answer: | I have 3 of these in a Synology 4 bay NAS DiskStation DS918+ works great! |
| Question: | I purchased (2) 12-tb: anyone knows why i get 10.91-tb for each? why are we short |
| Answer: | manufacturer considers 1 Megabyte to be 1000 Kilobytes, 1 Gigabyte to be 1000 Megabytes, 1 Terabyte to be 1000 Gigabytes and so on. This is correct considering that kilo means 1000 and mega means 1000000 (10^6). However, computers calculate on base 2 and to them, 1 MB is actually 1024 kilobytes, 1GB is 1024MB and 1 TB is 1024GB. This difference in the method of computation is responsible for this "missing space." Let's take an example of a 500 GB hard disk. From a manufacturer's point of view, the 500GB will have 500*1000*1000*1000 = 500000000000 bytes. From a computer's point of view, 500GB is actually 500*1024*1024*1024 = 536870912000 bytes. So, a hard drive that promises to have 500 GB storage space will actually display 465.66GB, 536870912000-500000000000 = 36870912000 bytes (34.34GB) less storage space when connected to a computer. This is true of every drive you buy |
| Question: | Can this be used as a normal hdd storage drive for a desktop pc |
| Answer: | I have two NAS drives in my computer, and they work great. I bought two easystore external hard drives and removed the hard hard drives from the case. The hard drives are 5400 rpm drives. I only archive things on those drives, and they work great. The 7200 rpm drives are better for gaming but more expensive. The easystores only costed me $150. They also have a 256mb cache. |

| Question: | I bought the dvr service but it says it doesn’t recognize my dvr. do i have to buy my own dvr? i thought it was included in the service |
| Answer: | Yes you have to buy a DVR service which is 35.00 a year. Which isn't bad. However I bought Plex lifetime membership and use my own pc or laptop as a server and add a big hard drive for recording tv shows. Services limit the space. Which is why I bought Plex and and 8TB hard drive and dedicated it to Plex. So I basically have my own media server for movies, music, and tv shows. Plex you can buy monthly, yearly or lifetime. I bought the lifetime which was 149.00 one time fee. Sometimes they drop price and have a sale. Overall Plex is better for me I think. |

| Question: | how easy is it to set this up in my HOME |
| Answer: | Easy. Plug it in to power and an Ethernet connection. Download the WD my cloud app on your PC and log in to administer the device. That’s about it. |
| Question: | Can each family members have their own folder with a password |
| Answer: | Hi - I bought the 4TB my Cloud Home device. I am still trying all the features. It is possible to let your family members set-up their own user ID, password and dedicated folders which only your family member will have access to etc. I found it very annoying that as administrator of the home cloud, you WILL NOT have any control o what they are storing (or) access to any of those files. May be the WD designed the product that way that individuals have complete data security to their own areas. I am still learning. Good Luck |
| Question: | Can you install BitTorrent/transmission client on it |

| Question: | Can this be connected to a local network without an internet gateway? Does this require an internet connection to function locally |

User questions & answers
| Question: | what if the NAS device fails? Can you remove the drives and put in another device to recover data or are they hardware layer encrypted |
| Answer: | Yes. A long story short, my WD My Cloud Mirror suffered a "blown out" ethernet port due to a lightening strike. I purchased the EX2 Ultra (diskless) and placed my old WD Red drives, that were in the My Cloud Mirror, and it worked flawlessly. It didn't skip a beat. I was up and running like nothing happened. I was so relieved that the content on the drives were unaffected! |
| Question: | Is the 8tb option include 1 drive at 8tbs or 2-4tb hdds |
| Answer: | 2 4TB drives wich can then be run in a raid configuration. |
| Question: | Im assuming any advertised capacity would be half using raid |
| Answer: | Well, this is an old question, so nobody will see my glorious contribution; but here goes anyway! In order to use RAID 1, the two drives in use for that must be of the same size. They should be identical --- well nearly so. But, if one of the drives is slower than the other, the slower drive controls the speed (obviously). Two 6 TB drives in RAID 1, however, does not give you exactly 6 TB. There is a small part of the discs that gets assigned overhead duty to keep track of the status of the mirroring and to manage the mirroring. You could assume a high percentage --- maybe even more than 99%. I can't find any real figures for it, but since a 6 TB drive doesn't hold 6 TB anyway, you might just assume something like 5.98 TB for two nominal 6 TB drives in RAID 1. Keep in mind that RAID isn't free!! Not only is the capacity of the RAID array less than the combined capacity of the drives, there is also a performance hit because everything has to be written more than once and depending on which RAID (n) you choose, it may be split across several drives. Another consideration which I had not previously considered is the age of the drives. If you start with two identical drives, four years from now each of those drives will have been in service for, guess what, four years. If one of them fails, the other may not be long behind. Some folks (what we usually refer to as "THEY") would suggest a mix of drive ages. Your mileage may vary, as "they" say. :-) |
| Question: | Has anyone used this nas with plex |
| Answer: | I am going to buy the 4 bay version. If I can stream from Plex using 2 old Lenovo IX4-300D's than I am sure the ARMADA 388 1.6ghz chip will be fine for steaming from Plex. The Lenovo only has a 1.2ghz chip and ARMADA XP chip in it. |
