Question about WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra
Please help me quickly as I am not a NAS professional at all. I would like to set up a NAS with 2x 4TB and this version is not available to buy fully equipped. Can I just buy the empty NAS and 2x 4TB WB Red discs, plug them in, format them and off I go? Is all the firmware already pre-installed on the internal storage? Thank you, LG

Yes, you can buy the empty NAS device, the Western Digital My Cloud EX2 Ultra (0 TB), and equip it with two 4TB WD Red NAS hard drives.
Here are the key points to consider:
- Compatibility of the hard drives: The My Cloud EX2 Ultra is compatible with WD Red NAS hard drives, so you can use two 4TB WD Red drives.
- Installation and formatting: The My Cloud EX2 Ultra has tool-less, tray-less drive bays, which means that you simply plug in the hard drives and do not have to mount them additionally. After installation, you must format the hard drives, which is easy to do using the NAS device's user interface.
- Firmware: The firmware of the NAS device is already pre-installed. All you have to do is connect the device to your network and configure it via the web interface or the My Cloud app.
You can then buy the empty NAS device, plug in the WD Red hard drives, format them and get started. The entire configuration is relatively simple and user-friendly.
