Hardware

My Cloud uses a Mindspeed Comcerto 2000 (M86261G-12) dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Communication processor running at 650 MHz. The gigabit Ethernet port is a Broadcom BCM54612E Gigabit Ethernet transceiver. Other components include 256 megabytes of Samsung K4B2G1646E DDR3 random access memory and 512 kilobytes of Winbound 25X40CL flash. The drive is a WD Red 2 terabyte (WD20EFRX).

My Cloud relies on air convection for cooling, without a fan.

My Cloud OS

My Cloud comes pre-installed with the My Cloud OS (operating system),[2] but it is possible to overwrite it with a custom, third-party operating system.

The operating system is proprietary, with a user-friendly graphical user interface. Others have found the operating system to be Linux, with a graphical user interface, but also SSH accessible.[3] which comes pre-installed on all My Cloud devices.[4]

Access

My Cloud apps

My Cloud is accessible from personal computers, Apple Macs, Android devices, and iOSs, via an application provided by Western Digital.[2][3][4]
