Hi
I'm looking to replace my Apple Gen 1 Time Capsule and LaCie NAS. The TC is 1gb and full. The LeCie has died. Looking for recommendations. I looked at the WD My Cloud. It seems to meet my needs, BUT it seemes like it needs internest access to work. From what I've read, even if I'm on the same network as the WD NAS, if I loose my internet connection, I loose acces to my NAS.
I'd like to find something with the following features in order of importance to me.
1 Apple Time Machine
2 Network disk shows up on desktop
3 Can store and access iPhoto library
4 Can Store and play iTunes Library
5 Remote access via WAN to NAS, aka my own dropbox
6 Can Store and play video Library
Time machine and network disk are very important. My iPhoto and iTunes library have become very big on my Mac. I'd love to move them to a NAS and only access what I need. I'm thinkg of a unit with about 6-8tb.
Thanks!
