Hi Nat.... I have a 3TB 2-bay NAS, and the AIOS sees it fine under the Network\'NASName' heading. All I had to do was mount the directories I wanted to share.

I would recommend you to search for the answer to this question on Pivos forums http://www.pivosforums.com/viewforum.php?f=3. I think that the device doesn't support hard drives over 3 TB, but I'm not 100% sure.

How do you have this hooked up to the unit? If USB, make sure that you don't have an internal drive in the unit. If Ethernet, have you logged on to the NAS? Have you shared the shares? - Does the AIOS have the permissions to see them?

My guess is you may have a roles & permissions issue with the media player. Is your media player and NAS connected to the same router/switch? Are they within the same network (IP Address wise)? Did you give the media player access to the shares on the Cloud by creating a username and logging into the NAS via the media player? If you answered yes to all the questions, then you might consider contacting the manufacturer for tech support before upgrading. A 4TB NAS/Cloud is nice to have so try to exhausting all your options first.

I bought one of these (sold by AMTECH) and registered it on the WD web site. It shows as "Out of Region" with the warranty expiring 9/15/16 (5 yrs + 1 month after date of manufacture). Officially that means you have to send it to the region it was sold into. However, it appears from reading the support forums on WD's web site, for end users it's possible to get the region changed if you request by opening a support ticket.

If you pre purchase the 16TB it comes with Reds and you cant change that. But if you buy the disk less version you can put any drive in their compatibility list on WDs site. Some current Greens are on there, but they are unable to test backward with older Greens that are no longer manufactured. (but may still work) I am using 2 not on their list and they work fine.

I don't think so. Unless you could figure out a way to network a USB device but at that point you're better off buying a product meant to be a NAS. FYI, my unit failed after 1 month. Don't buy this product.

Hi I'm running Win7 Pro 64bit without any problems. -- For me the trick was to add my Windows user login/passwd into the Buffalo Users list. Once I did this the NAS would see and allow my user access.

This is a set it and forget it NAS. Needs not be re-imaged. And for the price you will pay for this unit, you are better off buying a used case, sticking 4 4TB drives in it and getting a USB flash drive and calling it a night. Thats what I did using Synology's free version of their NAS and sofar its working great. Over 150 days up. I sold this unit last year with over two years of trouble free service. The only reason I sold it was because it was too small for my growing needs. So to answer your question. Not sure. But its also not needed.

No it doesn't need it. So I just started with 2 old 1TB HDDs than after 1.5 week I added 3 4TB new HDDs. Later I expended 3 4TB HDD with 1 more of the same type. Finally I have 2 disk groups. Configuration of NAS is very flexible and it is really fully up to you.

It appears that WD is replacing the My Book Live Duo product line with My Cloud, and they offer the My Cloud Mirror two bay Raid 0 and 1, which I similar in features to the My Book Live Duo and they now offer in the "Expert Series" a more serious version called the My Cloud EX2, they now both offer free applications to access your NAS anywhere and both are PERSONAL CLOUD storage.....

They claim it does. Regardless, you do not want this NAS. The firmware is riddled with bugs and the support is terrible. Heads should be rolling at Seagate for this disgrace. Spend the extra money and get a Synology NAS. They are 100x better.

NO.I've tried this configuration as well and realized that NAS only recognizes the first HD in bay. Could not find any workaround for that so, I decided go for a 4 bay NAS storage. Currently I use this NAS as printer server only.

yes you can. I am currently running two of the 4 TB NAS drives from Seagate and I left the others empty. The device is scalable in that way however you will need to backup data on your current drive if you later want the added performance or redundancy of adding it to a RAID array.

There are vendors that will sell you this NAS with hard drives already solved - but they tend to be much more expensive than just purchasing and installing the drives yourself.

Go to WD site support. It seems simple however there some reviews in the web forums indicating some application in the PC is required.

It's not listed as compatible, your best bet is to use a drive listed as compatible from the NAS category of drives, purpose built for use in a NAS.

I would not recommend it for ANY use. Bought it here at Amazon 5 months ago and WD says it is ALREADY not covered!

The 4TB version has 2-2TB drives hence 4TB. That is in RAID 0 format. If you setup RAID 1 you only have 2TB usable.Good luck

Its a SMB share so its open to anyone that connects to your home network, connect it, power it up, wait until led stops blinking then on a windows pc click on "my computer" then on the left side click on network... it should appear as "cloudbox" ... hope this helped.
