WD MyCloud (2nd Gen) replacement - Enquiries - 02-04-2023
I currently have a WD MyCloud (2nd Gen)
My current settings:
> My Cloud device mounted to NVIDIA Shield TV
> WD Elements (external HDD) connected to My Cloud as backup
> I transfer all files (media, pictures and music) from my PC to the My Cloud
> I have private & shared folders setup in My Cloud for different users
> I stream movies using Plex on NVIDIA Shield TV
What would be a good replacement for my single bay WD MyCloud (2nd Gen)?

A good replacement for your single bay WD MyCloud (2nd Gen) would be the Synology DiskStation DS118. It offers similar features to your current setup, including the ability to connect an external hard drive for backup, create private and shared folders for multiple users, and run a media server for streaming (compatible with Plex). Additionally, the DS118 has improved hardware specifications and a more robust software ecosystem compared to your current device, providing better performance and more options for customization.
