User questions & answers

Question:	what if the NAS device fails? Can you remove the drives and put in another device to recover data or are they hardware layer encrypted
Answer:	Yes. A long story short, my WD My Cloud Mirror suffered a "blown out" ethernet port due to a lightening strike. I purchased the EX2 Ultra (diskless) and placed my old WD Red drives, that were in the My Cloud Mirror, and it worked flawlessly. It didn't skip a beat. I was up and running like nothing happened. I was so relieved that the content on the drives were unaffected!
Question:	Is the 8tb option include 1 drive at 8tbs or 2-4tb hdds
Answer:	2 4TB drives wich can then be run in a raid configuration.
Question:	Im assuming any advertised capacity would be half using raid
Answer:	Well, this is an old question, so nobody will see my glorious contribution; but here goes anyway! In order to use RAID 1, the two drives in use for that must be of the same size. They should be identical --- well nearly so. But, if one of the drives is slower than the other, the slower drive controls the speed (obviously). Two 6 TB drives in RAID 1, however, does not give you exactly 6 TB. There is a small part of the discs that gets assigned overhead duty to keep track of the status of the mirroring and to manage the mirroring. You could assume a high percentage --- maybe even more than 99%. I can't find any real figures for it, but since a 6 TB drive doesn't hold 6 TB anyway, you might just assume something like 5.98 TB for two nominal 6 TB drives in RAID 1. Keep in mind that RAID isn't free!! Not only is the capacity of the RAID array less than the combined capacity of the drives, there is also a performance hit because everything has to be written more than once and depending on which RAID (n) you choose, it may be split across several drives. Another consideration which I had not previously considered is the age of the drives. If you start with two identical drives, four years from now each of those drives will have been in service for, guess what, four years. If one of them fails, the other may not be long behind. Some folks (what we usually refer to as "THEY") would suggest a mix of drive ages. Your mileage may vary, as "they" say. :-)
Question:	Has anyone used this nas with plex
Answer:	I am going to buy the 4 bay version. If I can stream from Plex using 2 old Lenovo IX4-300D's than I am sure the ARMADA 388 1.6ghz chip will be fine for steaming from Plex. The Lenovo only has a 1.2ghz chip and ARMADA XP chip in it.

User questions & answers

Question:	I want to back up all of my dvd's. will this hook up to my smart tv since it has usb ports? also, i have wifi and not ethernet. will it still work
Answer:	No, I'm afraid it's a very thick gage aluminum, and not flexible at all. That's our problem with where my wife wants it. She wants it coming out of the gutter on our Aluminum Patio Cover, but the gutter is built into it with no access from the top. So we're having to look at other possible locations for it.
Question:	how much storage space come with this device
Answer:	I only used the chain and this adapter
Question:	Can you install a 10gb nic in here
Answer:	Yes, I use a fairly heavy chain. As long as your gutter is sturdy.
Question:	How secure is this against malicious attacks? Does it have a firewall and anti-virus software
Answer:	About 2 1/4”. It comes with a reinforcing plate the exact size so you can oversized the hole you make in the gutter and that way it easily fits in. Use some roof cement to fasten and seal the plate and the gutter spout to the bottom of the gutter.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, can you increase the ram size from 16gb to 32gb as default size
Answer:	With that length of foam roller, I would recommend going with the XL. Your beats will fit nicely in a side pocket, the foam roller can be easily stored and removed from the main compartment, and your 24oz water bottle can sit in the exterior water bottle pocket. With all of this, you could still easily store shoes in the shoe compartment and other accessories as well!
Question:	how much storage space does it have
Answer:	The Boost is a soft-shell from top to bottom. The material is a dense polyester and is reinforced on the bottom. Also, the piping on the edges of the bag is very strong, keeping the sides rigid and allowing the bag to keep its shape even with only a few things in the bag. Hope that helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be used as a datastore for esxi or backup VMs
Answer:	Technically you can but not recommended. You will likely get terrible performance because the CPU and memory is not designed for this use case. 512MB RAM is very low for a datastore. This model is really geared towards traditional file sharing and media streaming. You want something with higher CPU and read/wrtie caching like the DS218/DS218+.
Question:	Is the memory upgradable
Answer:	No, the DS220j only supports 512MB
Question:	what physical size harddrives can be used
Answer:	Carlos is correct. 16tb is the limit of the ds218j or 8tb in raid configuration and the DS220j is 2ea 12 Tb for a total of 24Tb or 12Tb, in used in a raid situation.
Question:	If single drive is installed initially, then 2nd drive is added later. does raid 1 get configured? or does both drive need to be installed together
Answer:	I installed one drive initially, and then added a second drive later. The second drive was automatically added as a Raid 1 drive.

User questions & answers

Question:	How can I obtain a replacement rackmount rail kit? We moved our data center, and left part of the rails behind - where can I purchase just the rails
Answer:	Wash with cold water on gentle cycle then air dry to avoid shrinking. I use a detergent called Active (the blue kind) on all my gym clothes and it works well to remove any odors.
Question:	will i be able to install Plex
Answer:	No. It is a standard, elastic, non-padded sports bra.
Question:	about the ram Can be increased? And to what extent
Answer:	No. Headlights definitely will show through! Seriously beware of cold weather and thin shirts with this bra. This is the one flaw (no padding/cups underneath thin fabric) in an otherwise wonderful bra.
Question:	Can this unit be used with active directory for folder permissions
Answer:	I think a 32DD = small. I used to be a 32DD and used to wear smalls in similar Champion bras, but they're a bit too tight now that I've gained a little weight and am a 32DDD. I was replacing those too-small bras, so I got a medium and it fit well without riding up. I like it, but it's not really quite medium support for me though.
Question:	Does this unit support virtual machines in terms of io? i have a lab i want to setup. please advise. thank you in advance
Answer:	The pads are removable but I haven’t removed them and they don’t bunch at all. They stay in place. They do just fine in the wash
Question:	Is there a way to add an expansion unit to this NAS
Answer:	I wear them spinning and practicing hot yoga. They are very well made so I would say, yes, you can wear them working out.
Question:	Does the RS819 support docker
Answer:	I'm a 34C and got a small. Even with the small it is not tight and has little support.
Question:	What are the dimensions? The listing says 2 x 4 x 8, but that can't be right
Answer:	I wear a 32 DD. It is my true size and I can not wear this bra for running or anything high impact because it is not tight enough to keep my breast in place. I wish I got a small. My sister size is a 34D.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the unit use hardware acceleration so it can be used as a media/video server
Answer:	There is no onboard integrated storage. This is 40 Tera not Gigabytes unit. It has four bays for 3.5” SAS drives. You can use 2.5” SAS with an adapter.
Question:	Does this item include rails? if not what p/n have compatible rails
Answer:	1. The model listed in the question is a disk-less 4 bay model. This means as shipped the capacity is ZERO, no drives at all. 2. The model listed in the question specifically has a maximum capacity of 48TB implemented by ADDING 4 each 12TB drives. When configured, the user can make this into an highly reliable array of 12TB total capacity, a redundant arrays totalling 24TB (two redundant 12TB), or an array of all 4 drives adding to 48TB. 3. A single 40TB capacity drive is only now becoming available in the industry. The specs for the model listed in the question suggests the maximum size of any one drive in the box must not individually exceed 12TB (currently). This may be either or both a firmware (Operating System) or interface hardware limitation.
Question:	What is the difference between the desktop and enterprise style options for the rn
Answer:	You should use caution when using RAID 5 with member drives larger than 1TB that are consumer grade... The normal bit error rate on consumer grade drives makes an unrecoverable error on a Raid 5 rebuild likely. In my experience, RAID 10 is the better compromise - the processing load on the RAID controller is almost non-existent, writes are much faster. Of course the downside is that the RAID 10 only gives you 50% of the total installed capacity ( 4 x 2TB Hard Drives yields a 4TB RAID 10 Drive), while RAID 5 gives you 67% of the total installed capacity ( 4 x 2TB Hard Drives yields a 6TB RAID 5 Drive). There is another advantage to RAID 10 though - In both a RAID 10 and a RAID 5, a single drive failure should not produce any downtime; but if a second drive were to fail before the first is replaced the RAID 5 Drive is done, the RAID 10 has a 67% chance of still being fine (if setup as a RAID 0 stripe set of two RAID 1 mirror sets).
Question:	Can i configure the disk with raid 0,1,5, ? and can it be attached to esxi as storage
Answer:	Always go with the mfg website of 48TB total space 36 usable with raid 5 and 12TB hard drives . Yes you can Mirror a disk aka Raid 1

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this Work with tivo
Answer:	Simple: 1. These are mechanical drives - not SSDs. 2. Drives vibrate when they spin. 3. The more drives you have the higher the accumulative vibration of NAS from the mechanics of all the drives. 4. Too much vibration for the drive not designed for it means faster death of the drive - anything from bad blocks to electronics. 5. NAS designated drives have higher requirements for being able to cope with vibration and have vibration sensors and algorithms that may alter drive operation in high vibration scenario.
Question:	My toshiba 8gb came with two partitions on it already - 2 and 5.4gb. is that how your 8gb hdd was, or is that a sign that it was used and returned
Answer:	Your question is impossible to answer. Not enough information. To start with: internal or external? IF INTERNAL You really need to look at your laptop specs to see what can fit into it. Some laptops nowadays no longer come with any room for SATA drives which means you cannot ever install an HDD inside them. These laptops typically either have on-board SSD or NVMe SSD. If your laptop supports SATA drives then most likely it is 2.5 inch drive which is far smaller than this NAS drive. But that is not all the drives also differ in thickness. So you need to know what thickness your laptop supports. E.g. most laptops that support SATA restrict thickness of HDD to 7mm while there are also thicker HDDs on the market. IF EXTERNAL You need an external HDD caddy with the interface supported by your laptop. You really need a caddy with fan as well to dissipate heat.

User questions & answers

Question:	how easy is it to set this up in my HOME
Answer:	Easy. Plug it in to power and an Ethernet connection. Download the WD my cloud app on your PC and log in to administer the device. That’s about it.
Question:	Can each family members have their own folder with a password
Answer:	Hi - I bought the 4TB my Cloud Home device. I am still trying all the features. It is possible to let your family members set-up their own user ID, password and dedicated folders which only your family member will have access to etc. I found it very annoying that as administrator of the home cloud, you WILL NOT have any control o what they are storing (or) access to any of those files. May be the WD designed the product that way that individuals have complete data security to their own areas. I am still learning. Good Luck
Question:	Can you install BitTorrent/transmission client on it
Answer:	From what I can see, this is pretty locked out but it does come with a few services preinstalled (Plex, IFTTT etc.)
Question:	Can this be connected to a local network without an internet gateway? Does this require an internet connection to function locally
Answer:	You could but it would be of limited value. It is not designed for local storage. It wants to be a Cloud device. Go read this review and the mnaufacturer’s response: https://www.amazon.com/review/R438M3H6BK69U/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B076CTK55W
