WDs "My Cloud"

Just saw this tonight in the TBS Big Bang Theory Sunday evening marathon:

Western Digital My Cloud

My Cloud runs on Linux

dot, dot, dot

My Cloud personal cloud storage is compatible with Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, Snow Leopard, as well as DLNA/UPnP enabled devices.

There is a .exe which apparently installed under Wine.

As to intefacing with Linux:

The shares can be mounted in Linux either via CIFS (SMB) or NFS.

rsync is available via command line, but there's limitations.

From what I can tell, it will only use SSH (instead of allowing rsh), so it enforces encryption of the data stream,
.......which slows it down quite a bit. And I don't believe there's an rsyncd, which limits rsync's functionality further.

Or.....I guess one could just make it into a Linux box and have done with it! lol

If you buy that, be prepared for some seriously annoying WD "SmartWare" and other rubbish

yeah one would probably be best off to format it and do Linux.

But, I have western digital drives that are ten years, and more, old, it should be stable enough.
