I have a WD My Cloud EX 2Ultra with 2 x 4 TB and would like to replace it with 2 x 8 TB. According to WD, you need a 48 W power supply instead of the 32 W one. Can anyone tell me which 48 W power supply fits and whether there is a suitable one here in the shop? Unfortunately not available from WD. Thank you 🫣

I don't know if this is a good idea, because replacing hard drives in a 2 bay NAS system will be necessary again at some point. I would recommend a new NAS instead, e.g. a Synology DS418, they are not expensive, but can be expanded very well with up to 4 hard drives. I would either sell the existing WD NAS completely or use it as a backup solution for the new NAS to save the most important data. Or you can take the two 4 TB disks in the DS418 and buy another one for 3 x 4 TB. This way you also get 8 TB gross capacity, but you don't have to discard any hard drives.

In general, you can also assume that a 48 watt power supply unit is probably more difficult to obtain, and those with 60 watts often cost up to 100 francs.

Hello, it is well recommended to replace the power supply with 48W of power.
You can find a compatible power supply on the internet. Please pay attention to the power supply direction of the plug that fits into your device.
