Hi, I can only compare to my DLink 321 with it's gigabyte Ethernet connection. The difference in performance was huge, literally like night and day. Both the MyCloud and the DLink were gigabyte connections so I imagine the big difference would be attributed to the much better processor on the MyCloud.

One question of anyone who has used a NAS drive in the past...generally, does the WD My Cloud offer improved performance over, say, a Netgear NAS drive? I appreciate there are many factors which would affect such a comparison but I'd appreciate anyone's gut-feel for this - certainly, the ease of use and interface of this drive seems to be far better than my current Netgear but wonder if it's worth swapping over from a performance point of view!

I recently bought one of these drives and my only comment is that I'm really sorry I didn't buy one earlier. The WD My Cloud has a whole variety of uses including the storage and sharing of audio/video files around your house using DLNA and so on. Before the WD My Cloud drive came along I was using USB drives hanging off the Asus RTN56U rooter, whilst this method of sharing media was affective the speed was very slow. With the WD My Cloud connected directly to the Rooter I've fround speed has increased even to the point where the WD My Cloud can be carrying out several data operations at one time without any drop in performance, for example a backup from the Windows PC and the Mac can be going on whilst you access your favourite tracks from a Playlist with your Android Phone or whatever. The following review outlines and describes many of the drives capabilities. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/laptops/reviews/wd-my-cloud-review-versatile-and-user-friendly-552860 -- ********** Those who need help are those who are prepared to help themselves
