![]() ![]() It appears that WD is simply ceasing support for devices with specific security risks rather than undertake the arduous task of updating device compatibility for the latest update. A couple of weeks later, it became clear that a similar security risk affected additional Network Attached Storage (NAS) hard drives. In June, we wrote about a vulnerability with My Book Live devices that resulted in some users losing their data. My Cloud OS 5 released in March of this year and includes major security updates to address vulnerabilities. If your device is compatible with My Cloud OS 5, which you can check here, you should upgrade now to continue to have remote access to your storage device. The company has also announced that devices compatible with My Cloud OS 5 will no longer support previous generations of My Cloud OS. Sorting by ascending price, the diskless DL2100 ties with the #2 ranked AS5002T at $350.Western Digital (WD) has announced that it is ending support for prior generations of My Cloud OS, including My Cloud OS 2 and 3. The NAS Ranker slots the DL2100 in fourth place, behind the QNAP TS-251 and TS-253 Pro tied for third and ahead of ASUSTOR’s AS-302T ranked #5. ![]() The other two test runs yielded throughput of 111.4 and 111.0 MB/s. I repeated the benchmark run three times and this behavior was consistent. Checking the data I found the first NASPT RAID 1 File Copy from NAS test run could not read the test file so returned a 0 result, which brought down the three-test average. Our published results are based on the average of three test runs. Windows File Copy results are consistent between RAID 0 and 1, but the NASPT RAID 1 File Copy from NAS (read) benchmark is much slower than write at 74 MB/s vs. The Benchmark Summary shows the Intel Atom does a pretty good job of making the most of a single Gigabit Ethernet connection. All tests were run using Western Digital Red 6 TB (WD60EFRX) drives (x2 factory installed). The DL2100 tests used two drives configured in single RAID 0 and 1 volumes. The DL2100 was tested with 1.06.118 firmware using our Revision 5 NAS test process. The only time I heard the fan was when it temporarily spun up to full roar during boot. Power consumption for the external “brick” power supply was measured at 19 W (active) and 8 W (power save) with two 6 TB WD Red drives. WD My Cloud DL2100 drive baysįan and drive noise was rated very low. The other side holds the drive bay mechanics and backplane. It takes a 1x 4 GB DDR3, 1333 or 1600MHz, CL11, 1.5V Unbuffered DIMM vs. The board half shown below reveals easy access to the full-sized DIMM slot for RAM expansion. Remove the cover, then four inner screws and it separates easily into two parts. Kudos to the WD designers for how easy they made it to take the DL2100 apart. There are two tool-less drive bays for 3.5" SATA drives, USB 3.0 port and copy button on the front and dual power ports on the rear.ġ GB DDR3 (Nanya NT5CC128M8FN-DI x8 on board) upgradeable to 5 GB total via DIMMĢ GB DDR3 (Micron MT41K256M8DA x8 on board) upgradeable to 6 GB total via SoDIMM DDR3 1600MHz The DL2100 uses a chassis design similar to the DL4100’s. For SKUs that ship with storage, WD uses its Red series of NAS-optimized hard drives and, of course, recommends them for the BYOD models. We tested the 12 TB DL2100 model, but entered the 0 TB model in our Charts and Ranker database so you can more easily compare it to other diskless products. The DL2100 is also available with the following storage capacities: WD sent a 12 TB (Model WDBBAZ0120JBK ) that lists for $849.99. the DL4100’s 2 GB that is expandable to 8 GB total. It also has 1 GB of DDR3 RAM expandable to 5 GB total vs. The DL2100 keeps two USB 3.0 ports but doesn’t have the DL4100’s single USB 2.0. Both have dual aggregatable Gigabit Ethernet ports and two DC power sockets (1 AC adapter included). Other than the processor swap, the DL2100 is cut from the same cloth as the DL4100, with a few minor differences. I’m doing a separate review of the two-bay My Cloud DL2100 because it uses a different Intel Atom CPU. Our recent review of WD’s four-bay My Cloud DL4100 business class NAS found a solid NAS that should attract many buyers seeking comfort in a brand known for storage prowess.
