Hi all,
I'm looking at the WD My Cloud drives as a way to stream music to my wireless sound system (Yamaha YPS2700 & a WX030) while the PC is off, chances are I'll probably stream a film every so often to my TV as well.
The main draw is cost, £119 for a 3Tb option and while I'd love a QNAP NAS powerful enough to run as a plex server I simply can't afford the device and drives on top.
It's not going to be a main backup drive as I have mirrored 3Tb storage in the PC so any files stored on it will already be backed up.
What's the general consensus on these devices? Any better alternatives I should know about?
TLDR - WD My Cloud for streaming music, yes or no?
