This is not Network Attached Storage. It is some kind of Cloud hybrid that can be used to share files over the internet. It is not suitable for Plex, unless you use the built in Plex application, meaning you can't attach this and other storage and share your media through a single Plex server.

Not Original My Cloud Device
If you have a previous MyCloud NAS Appliance this is nothing like the original. It is a sharing device and requires software on each PC to do backups. The USB is only for importing files and can't be use as a connection to an additional Hard Drive for extra storage.

Big disappointment compared to old My Cloud Personal (non home addition)

Be careful on how you want to use it
I've been wanting a NAS for a while for music sharing around the house and file backup. WD seem to be the standard so went for this new model. Couple of things to point out: 1. Very noisy upon initial install, file drop. But this seems to have calmed down now. 2.

Don't buy it
I already owned a WD MyCloud. I thought this new Home version would be an upgrade. I was wrong. The Home version is terrible. It's largely unconfigurable. You can't create new network share drives on it. You have to log on to a WD website to change its settings.

WD My Cloud Home 4TB Personal Cloud Storage
I bought this by mistake - a stupid, lazy, expensive mistake. I thought I was buying a "My Cloud" - WD's NAS-lite solution for personal users. "My Cloud Home" is effectively nothing more than a stupidly overpriced photo storage box.
