According to our NAS expert
With WD My Cloud Home Duo 12TB NAS, you can create a safe cloud from your home. You can connect this external hard drive to the network, so you'll have access to your photos, music, and movies from anywhere in the world. Thanks to the 2 drives in the My Cloud Home Duo, you can set the drive up to automatically copy files from the first to the second drive. This way, you'll always have a backup of your own files. You can also do this for automatic backups from your computer. Use both drives at the same time for a full storage capacity of 12TB. With this drive, you can stream 4K movies to your smart TV without having to turn on a computer.

This product is not recommended if you are thinking of buying a regular NAS. Unfortunately I found out too late myself. This 'My Cloud Home' product line is a completely different product than the 'My Cloud' product line. So make a conscious choice before purchasing this device.
This product appears to be a kind of home version of Dropbox and with it comes advantages such as apps that you can install and possibilities to view the files via the phone, wherever you are. But unfortunately there are also disadvantages.
It's not possible to do the simplest things like plug in a hard drive and back up the 'nas' data. The USB port is a one-way street, you can only send data to the NAS. Very slow in use because you depend on the internet speed. If you have a large photo collection that is inconvenient - not workable.

Have wanted a NAS for a while but had no interest in delving into the technology. WD has created a "plug and play" like NAS that will get you up and running quickly. Installation was very easy. The apps and software for PC work great. I haven't fully explored what's possible yet. Things like Plex server for videos and other functionalities.
