I own a WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra with 2 x 2TB WD RED Drives in Raid 1. I use it to store Family photos, videos, music, and basic files. I use Windows and Linux computers. The other day I noticed it was not accessible by any of my computers. I fun it seemed fairly warm. I thought it was dead. After multiple unpluggings and thinking it was a lost cause. It started working again. I think it go over heated. Thinking about replacing it with something else. Question 1) Do you think this could have been a fluke and the NAS is alright. Question 2) should I reuse the drives in a new NAS? Question 3) What NAS would you recommend that is Windows an Linux Friendly, better than what I have, that also allows remote access with my phone? My Cloud has a phone app that lets me access my files away from home.
