My Setup::
WD MyCloud 6TB & 1 6TB External HD.
1x old laptop plugged into modem for Kodi (using the MyCloud).
1x Chromebox plugged into an external hard drive (not network) for the same relevant content.
I basically am sick of making manual backups, so I need to move to something with a backup bay and better access.
MyCloud EX2 with 2x 8 WD Red units is what I'm looking at replacing my setup with.
I've noticed that my current MyCloud won't stream 1080p video over the Wifi (if I need to). Everything else works great.
Uses:
Auto Backup of 2x phone content (current)
Auto Transfer of Laptop (Windows 10) content (current)
Stream video via ethernet (current)
Stream 1080p video via wifi (n/a) <--not as important
Access content remotely via app (current & not fully needed)
The question is...is there something cheaper/better/more efficient that I should be buying or doing? I've been researching a while and am still a little stuck.
The new setup appears like it will cost around $700 to complete.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!
