Add 6TB of USB 3.0 cloud storage to your Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android device in a 2 x 3TB configuration with the My Cloud Home Duo 6TB 2-Bay Personal Cloud NAS Server from WD. The My Cloud Home Duo provides a one-stop solution for saving digital content, backing up photos and videos on your phone, and wirelessly backing up and syncing your Windows and Mac computers with cloud accounts. This personal storage device plugs directly into your Wi-Fi router using its Gigabit Ethernet port so you can access, upload, and share photos and videos using the My Cloud Home apps for mobile, desktop, and web platforms as well as stream videos using Plex Media Server. Using the two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, you'll be able to import photos, videos, music, documents, and more from other devices, such as USB flash drives and external hard drives.
This NAS supports RAID functionality. It comes pre-configured in RAID 1, which mirrors the data on one drive to the other for 1:1 data redundancy, but at the cost of performance. It may also be configured as RAID 0, which provides performance gains, but no data redundancy.
The My Cloud Home Duo is powered by a 1.4 GHz Realtek RTD1295PB-CG A53 Quad-Core processor and 1GB of DDR3L RAM. It operates on 90-260 VAC at 47-63 Hz and includes an Ethernet cable and an AC adapter. It is compatible with Windows 10 and later, macOS 11 and later, iOS, and Android.
