    Would this product work if a client is off-site but yet still wants access to media files? If so, what's the optimal upload speed out of our building for this to work at a reasonable speed?
    Asked by: James
    With the correct configuration, this model can be accessed from off site. There is essentially no optimal upload speed, it will work at any speed, and as with any media speeds, the faster the better.

    Can this be configured so an off-site client can upload files to us from a remote location?
    Asked by: James
    Access Anywhere Access, edit, and share HD media with clients and colleagues using MyCloud.com and the My Cloud mobile app anywhere you have an Internet connection. The device may also be shared out manually in your router, if you have a static IP, by giving strict access privileges and and exposing the specific internal IP of your drive to the public, though this method is a bit less secure than using the MyCloud service.

    I have an older WD MyWorld NAS that has 2 x 2TB drives. Can I migrate those drives in two of the slots and use the other two slots for additional RAID storage?
    Asked by: Karl
    If only 2 slots are being used in the WD My Cloud Pro Series 32TB PR4100 4-Bay NAS Server, you can create another RAID. However, this will work best with RAID 5.
