Man of Honour
For at least a decade I've been using a Seagate GoFlex 2TB and it still does what I want it to however it is very slow at transferring files to and back. It's old technology and it has no USB so I'm thinking about going up to 4TB and something faster.
My uses:
It has got to be seen in Windows Explorer (or Directory Opus)
It has got to be seen in Kodi (I have no interest in Plex, installed it at least 5 times and don't get on with it)
Getting files from my PC HD to the NAS has got to be a lot quicker than my current Seagate GoFlex
I don't want to spend a fortune on electricity
Anything else is icing.
I was originally looking at the WD My Cloud Home but I think everything has to be done through an App or Web Browser.
I then saw this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-m...storage-4tb-wdbvbz0040jch-eesn-hd-523-wd.html this looks like it will do what I want however I know the majority will say Synology or Qnap.
So will the WD My Cloud EX fit my purpose or am I better getting this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/syno...ork-attached-storage-enclosure-hd-0as-sy.html and a 4TB WD Red NAS drive?
Thanks for any advice
