Gadget review: WD My Cloud

Review by Matt S. 

In the last couple of years "the Cloud" has gone from a marketing term for something that technology vendors have tried to sell to big corporations to something that everyone understands. Thanks to Sony offering players the ability to keep their game saves safe even if their console dies courtesy of the PSPlus Cloud, to handy tools such as Dropbox, and the likes of Microsoft and Google offering word processors and spreadsheets online via "Drives" people now understand what Clouds are and do.

But setting up your own Cloud? That's something a bit new, and it's exactly what Western Digital is offering with the My Cloud storage drives. In concept Network Attached Storage (NAS) at consumer prices is not something new, but a NAS drive that lets mums, dads, and goldfish to set up an manage a personal cloud is something that I haven't really come across before.
