The My Cloud is a line of personal network-attached storage devices and multi-purpose servers designed and marketed by Western Digital Corporation. My Cloud devices come in sizes of 2 terabytes, 3 terabytes, 4 terabytes, and 8 terabytes. A second model of My Cloud can have up to 16 terabytes.[1]
Hardware[]
My Cloud uses a Mindspeed Comcerto 2000 (M86261G-12) dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Communication processor running at 650 MHz. The gigabit Ethernet port is a Broadcom BCM54612E Gigabit Ethernet transceiver. Other components include 256 megabytes of Samsung K4B2G1646E DDR3 random access memory and 512 kilobytes of Winbound 25X40CL flash. The drive is a WD Red 2 terabyte (WD20EFRX).
My Cloud relies on air convection for cooling, without a fan.
My Cloud OS[]
My Cloud comes pre-installed with the My Cloud OS (operating system),[2] but it is possible to overwrite it with a custom, third-party operating system.
The operating system is proprietary, with a user-friendly graphical user interface. Others have found the operating system to be Linux, with a graphical user interface, but also SSH accessible.[3] which comes pre-installed on all My Cloud devices.[4]
Access[]
My Cloud apps[]
My Cloud is accessible from personal computers, Apple Macs, Android devices, and iOSs, via an application provided by Western Digital.[2][3][4]
