![]() Setup a Plex media server on my first floor desktop and point it to the Z drive for media files. Currently apart from my first floor desktop if I want to play a file from my WD drive - I use a pen drive to copy.Īlso within my home network, I want to play the media via Ethernet or Wifi and do not want to waste internet bandwidth Make sure my media files currently on the WD Ex 2 is accessible to all my computers and if possible even on mobile devices and even better if I can access it outside my home network. (iv) Various other mobile devices like phones and tablets (iii) A laptop which earlier was able to map the WD has a network drive but after I upgraded my router to a dual band - this too does not recognize (ii) A desktop at ground floor which cannot map my WD as a network drive (i) a desktop at first floor which recognizes my WD Ex 2 NAS and I am able to map it as Z drive Apparently it is also a NAS - I never tried to understand what all smart things it can do since I have a tough time using it as a dumb drive since most of the time, the damn NAS is so smart - my computers cannot identify it and map it as a network drive. When I bought the WD, I just wanted a two drive setup to auto backup for any drive failures since it included 20 years of invaluable home videos. My current home setup has multiple computers and currently most of my media files are on a WD My Cloud EX2 NAS.
