A Personal Cloud that easy to set up

At a time when we own multiple gadgets -- laptops , smart-phones and tablets -- its become necessary to keep your data in a way that is accessible seamlessly across all devices . one option is to copy all videos  all musics , pitures in cloud service like drop box or Google drive , paying a monthly subscription fee for the storage . the other option is to use network attaches storage (NAS) ie . external hard disk that are attached to the wireless router at your home. if you have active Internet connection and keep the router and hard disk on , you will be able to access data on the hard disk from anywhere .


all this sound terribly technical , and clearly the key thing to consider before buying an NAS in the ease to set up .

 i have been using the recently launched western digital my book live duos, and it has been one of the easiest device to set up . the review unit came with two 2TB hard disk , and came with just two cables the power cable and an Internet cable to connect the device to the router ed the soft ware on the laptop which is all you need to do set up the divice the software that discover the hard dis on network . it creates shortcuts to access the hard disk on the desktop , and next launches the set  up page .
    you can operate the device in two modes . Raid 0 is the uncomplicated mode , where you get 4 TB space for backing up data  .In Raid 1 mode the total available space fall to 2TB . this is because the device automatically mirror s whatever data you have backed up .
finally there is option of creating activation code for your android and IOs device . I first downloaded  the WD2Go app on my ipad -- Android  version is available too i created the activation code from the set up menu on my laptop and fed it to my ipad , I could access the pictures and music files that i had on public folder of the my book live duos


how ever that was good experience . the 4TB is priced at RS.24,999 and the 6 TB was RS.29,999
