Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro and Network Attached Storage devices

Hi. I am running two pc's on a local network. One is running Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.19041 and the other is running Windows 10 Pro build 10.0.19041.


Home version of Windows 10 can access my WD Ex2 Cloud device while the Windows Pro version provides error code 0x80070035 or network path was not found or \\mycloudex2ultra is not accessible/do not have permissions.


Does anybody have the solution?

Network storage device

Anyone have any knowledge about network storage devices like this one here?

I'd really like to setup a home server, but I don't have the funds for it.

The wife just wants something to backup her info for her MacBook Pro. I've been reading up on reviews for these types of things and most are kind of....not that great. I don't want to jump into something like this and find out it's a POS or a waste of money.

So any advice or recommendations on a network storage device would be great.

 

Plextor Announces New PX-NAS4 Network Attached Storage Device

Plextor LLC, a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance digital media equipment, announces the PX-NAS4, its latest network-attached storage (NAS) device. The PX-NAS4 offers an exceptional performance, massive storage capacity, high data reliability and security, and low power consumption, making it a perfect solution for today’s small and medium sized business environment.

With dual LAN ports, the PX-NAS4 provides substantial bandwidth up to 2Gbps data access to support the increasing data demands and needs of small and medium-sized businesses. PX-NAS4 has the capacity to store up to 8TB of data across four hot-swap drive bays. Also, the PX-NAS4 has a storage expansion option available via built-in eSATA and USB ports which allow for the connection of additional external hard drives to meet continuous storage demand.







The PX-NAS4 offers the convenience of iSCSI, making its storage available as consolidated network storage over existing low cost networks. Valuable data stored in the PX-NAS4 is always protected with an advanced volume encryption using an AES 256-bit algorithm. PX-NAS4 is password-protected allowing only authorized users’ access.

“With today’s increasing amount of digital data, businesses need to save such data in a secure and accessible area,” said Clifford Sun, Senior Product Marketing Manager of Plextor, “Plextor is excited to offer our next phase of network-attached storage providing a reliable, secure and convenient storage solution for small and medium businesses.”

The PX-NAS4 offers multiple disk configurations: JBOD, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 or RAID10, with a hot spare bay provided for immediate drive replacement if a drive fails (RAID 1 & 5 only). The PX-NAS4 also features Snapshot Backup Utility, a method of backup that takes a picture of the current state of the NAS, to protect and safeguard precious data.

A low-power consumption design makes the PX-NAS4 Energy Star compliant and reduces the energy demands to 58 Watts in full access mode (25 Watts in standby). The device requires only 60 percent of the power of a typical 200 Watt NAS, saving electricity and running costs.

The PX-NAS4 will be available end of November with an MSRP of $399.99.

Cheap NAS often ends up disastrous mainly because people want great performance out of them. Having said that, one of major issues with low-end NAS is HDD performance over network. Write / Read can be agonizingly and brutally slow.

It might be better just to buy an external HDD for half of that price.
