WD My Cloud - library and Roon - connecting

Hi,

The WD Cloud is not the best specified NAS device * I know that some people have had issues with them.
That said there was this post Configuring a WD My Cloud for SMB instead of AFP [Solved] which details how one Roon user is now using a WD Cloud with Roon using a Mac. The important thing is that it must use SMB and not AFT to share it resources … but as you are using Windows (not OSX) you’ll get a SMB share but default anyway.

Give it a go and let us know how you get on.

1.5TB in 5 days … if that was via a 1GB wired network it is way too slow, however via WiFi then may be.
I don’t recommend WiFi connections for anything other that portable devices … but I know when needs must etc. etc.
How is your network configured?

Regards,
Carl
