Western Digital, a world leader in storage solutions, recently launched their newest addition to their line of storage products … the WD My Cloud Personal Cloud Storage and WD My Cloud EX4.
As a blogger, I need something where I can store my files safely. It may be photo and video files of my blog coverages and other activities, it can also be music or movies that will entertain me while doing my blog articles. Ofcourse, my laptop has hardrive limitations and I can’t store it all there. I don’t want to delete important files just to give way for my new files so having an external hardrive would be the best solution for the storage of my files.
WD My Cloud Personal Cloud Storage and WD My Cloud EX4 is one of the good choices. What I love about these data storage products is My Cloud mobile appliction where I can upload my files just in case I’m out and on the go using my smartphone device and tablet. All I need is an internet connection.
Here’s the run down of WD’s newest products…
