Can two of these drives be used in the WD Cloud ex2

On their web site it yes it's Expandable storage, available in Diskless, 4TB, 6TB & 8TB of capacity. So for them to get to 8TB would be 2 of the 4 TB's

Short answer...yes. The WD Red Series are meant for use in NAS devices and the WD Cloud Ex2 actually comes with them installed as an option. If you are getting the diskless version then these will also work. Not sure if your concern was more from using smaller size 1TB disks, but that is not an issue. The concern comes more from not exceeding the maximum disk size the controller can address...using smaller capacity drives will not pose a problem.

I currently have a 1tb usb drive connected and it works great. I don't see why it wouldn't support 2tb.

From WD website- EX2 is hot swappable, IPv4/v6 ready, has more RAM (512mb), Active directory etc. Both seem to use same hard drives though.

It can use any drive, I use WD Red drives myself. Piece of cake to use and very very reliable.

Can you run RAID that way? Id like to install 2 2TB drives, for large capacity RAID.

2 Years if the EX2 is complete. If you buy a 0T and add separate drives they will be warrantied separately. You can see the table here - http://support.wdc.com/warranty/policy.asp?wdc_lang=en&fid=wdsfMyCloud_EX2

According to their compatible drive list, it can easily handle them.https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/hd/DS713+

It requests a wd red nas drive if the hard drives you have are nas drives I dont see why they wouldn't work the two disks do not need to match in size

I am not certain about the drives with capacities >2 TB but I think it is possible that with the right adjustments it could work with 3 or 4 TB I am not for certain tho

Yes, but keep this in mind : The only external hard drives I ever got to work with this device are Buffalo- branded ones. I tried WD, Ragate, and Maxtor USB 3.0 and 2.0 drives with no luck at all. However, I had Buffalo - branded drives working on two ports at once.

I can find out on Wednesday as I have a current product and the Seagate SSHD drives at work I can test with. I am presently using 2tb WD green drives and 2 tb Seagate drives

I use a WD portable drive and it works well with this USB hub. (I did not try with more than one external drives.)

Probably yes, but the quality of the product is questionable. I bought one, and 4 months later, it suffer a catastrophic failure. The WD solution is better for the cloud idea.

I use the hub with multiple WD external drives which have USB 3 connectors. If the Ultra 2TB drive has a USB 3 connection, then it will work. I checked the Amazon listings for details and the WD _My_ Passport drives (regardless of size) all have USB 3 interfaces. That means they will work with this hub.Note, to take fullest advantage of the USB 3 speed, you will need to plug the hub into an USB 3 port on your computer. Otherwise, the speed will be that of the port.

I doubt it. I am not able to make it work with very many drives. I have gotten it to work with 1 WD 320 drive, but almost all others I have tried it won't talk to or requires that I format them every time I try and use them.

I would say yes. I have multiple WD Hard drives attached to multiple macs with different Operating Systems on them... the OS really doesn't care what OS you have, so I would say you are good to go! Enjoy!! WD makes great products and you will be very happy with your purchase like I was! - Jeremy in TX www.MyMailBoxFreedom.com

If you are set on Raid 1, it will limit you to 4 TB because the other drive is duplicating #1. If you go into your WD My Cloud you can change from Raid 1 and obtain full use of the aggregate 8 TB if that is what you want.
