‘The Plex server can be online, if you pay the subscription, or it can be local on the server.’ Sorry I’m probably being thick but you mentioned this above , does this mean it is possible to play your files/movies online without having to have plex server on your pc if you pay sub .

Interested thank you.

My old wd cloud NAS drive works with vlc and kodi without a PC via network, I thought Plex would be able to do that but looks like the server needs to be run on pc for Plex.

Does plex work if PC is locked? or does it have to be unlocked?

I thought so , thanks

Sorry Im a little confused, it does have a micro usb b cable and have tried it and with spares , the drive vibrates and does appear on file explorer but not loading up. to attach where? The drives not working.

That’s what I’m thinking, i think the usb component is hardwired

Thanks for that, yeah got plenty of cables from PC. From this pic, do I need to detach the drive further from the pc board? Looks like this is a custom built board for the drive.

Do I need to open it further, how can I fit that in my PC.? I haven’t done my research on which connectors/cable I require though

I’ve opened it up but ordered the special screw driver to detach the drive with its little screws , see if I can get it working etc

Il open it up, its a new one bought over a year ago like this WD 4 TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0, Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0713WPGLL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_136794KPTPY2CMBPA4TD

Looking forward to installing it in my PC, waiting for my Amazon delivery today!

I figured the answer to my question out I think, my question was will the internal NAS drive be recognised as a network drive automatically like the external mycloud drive using mycloud software. But its just a better quality hdd like you said with no software attached to it.

Thats what I bought , I bought this internal drive. https://www.amazon.co.uk/WD8003FFBX-Internal-3-5-Inch-24X7-5400RPM-Optimised/dp/B07D3N95GS?th=1

So bought this NAS drive yesterday, I currently have a external mycloud Nas drive and do have local access to it. Will this drive have network access software or is this basically a better quality hard drive ?

Il buy this WD then. Might aswell round up my total cost for new PC system to 4k!! Lol

Decided to buy a NAS drive! Just want to double check as this was recommended earlier in this thread https://www.amazon.co.uk/WD8003FFBX-Internal-3-5-Inch-24X7-5400RPM-Optimised/dp/B07D3N95GS?th=1 Is this definitely compatible for my PC and the best? any other slightly cheaper ones up to...
