I'm not sure if my very slow internet speed does not work well with The WD My Cloud or if it just a coincidence

’s limitations on available apps, minimal options, functions and features that a NAS drive would typically have (at a similar cost), and 5 stars for what seems to be stable performance, although that comes with a slower transfer speed when using internet only cloud drive access that is working outside of a home network and thus is very dependent on your bandwidth

The other downside is that there's no way to connect a computer directly to the drive so with my relatively slow internet

I'm not sure whether a greater internet speed is necessary for My Cloud.

That means if you lose internet, or you lose electricity, or you're moving, or you don't have access to an ethernet port, you can't get to your stuff, even with a direct USB from device to laptop

As a PLEX cloud (internet access only) streaming device, this would do well for that if you have a decent internet connection and over-all setup and it was easy to install and set up PLEX on the WD Cloud Home duo as well as my other viewing devices
