The My Cloud EX2 comes with an Ethernet cable, AC Adapter, and the quick install guide. You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver to installed drives into the diskless model. The top of the EX2 easily opens by pressing the button on the chassis door, revealing the two-bays. The back side of the device has two USB 3.0 expansion ports to instantly expand your storage capacity as well as a power port, Ethernet port, reset button, and Kensington lock slot.Ĭonsumers can choose purchase one of three WD EX2 models (2TB, 6TB, or 8TB) that work right out of the box, which feature WD Red hard drives as per usual, or they can build their own NAS with the diskless model and add two drives of their choice ( click here for a list of compatible drives). Like the single-bay NAS, the EX2 is passively cooled, with venting around the top, back, and bottom allowing the drive to easily rid of its heat. The inlay has three indicator lights on the front: power and bay 1 and 2 status LEDs. The body consists of a sleek black plastic shell, with a matte inlay that wraps around from the front to right side. WD used their existing My Book design ID for this particular unit. The My Cloud EX2 looks very different compared to its 4-bay brethren but very similar to the WD My Cloud (though about twice its size).
