PC components Feb 17,2016 0

Western Digital updates its prosumer solutions with My Cloud EX2 Ultra, a two-bay network attached storage (NAS) system. The device has been designed for creative professionals and prosumers that need to automatically sync content across computers, share files and folders and have multiple backup options.

My Cloud EX2 Ultra has been upgraded with a 1.3 GHz dual-core processor. Users also have access to 1 GB of DDR3 memory and several data management and security features to select a preferred method for managing and protecting files. Drive management options include RAID 0, RAID 1; JBOD and spanning modes, while data protection options include NAS to NAS, USB, cloud or LAN/WAN backup. The My Cloud EX2 Ultra NAS comes preconfigured in RAID 1 mode and is configurable into other data protection modes.

From unpopulated to 12 TB capacities, the My Cloud EX2 Ultra provides several capacity options. Additionally, more compatible USB 3.0 hard drives can be attached to the USB expansion ports on the My Cloud EX2 Ultra to expand the storage capacity. The populated My Cloud EX2 Ultra features the WD Red hard drives, specifically built for NAS systems. WD Red drives are powered by NASware 3.0 technology, improving drive reliability and minimizing data corruption in the event of a power loss or disruption.

With simplified file and folder sharing, users can send customized, private links that allow recipients read/write access to particular files on the user’s My Cloud EX2 Ultra. The My Cloud EX2 Ultra features a dashboard, so user accounts can be created, features customized and storage can be monitored with ease. With MyCloud.com web access, or the My Cloud mobile app, users can access their media and manage users from any internet connected device. With WD Sync, users can automatically synchronize their media and files across their computers and their My Cloud device.

My Cloud EX2 Ultra also includes an integrated FTP and WebDAV server, backup server, P2P download server and Microsoft Active Directory support. Additionally, users can download and run a host of third party apps, including, Plex, Milestone Arcus surveillance, aMule, Icecast, Joomla!, Anti-Virus Essentials, WordPress, SqueezeCenter, and more.
