OK. Just the mention of the word "cloud" conjures up horrific images of 
unsavoury events.

But as I have never heard of MyCloud application - wot exactly is it?

A question: is this server located locally or sited at some other 
location? (In other words, the eggs are not all in the same basket :-) .)

(One of the things which I *sorely* miss and which worries me no end is 
that with all my previous computers I had the HDDs sitting in mobile 
cradles and I could therefore remove the drives and also swap HDDs in 
and out at will. But I cannot find cradles for the new computer(s) (not 
only because of the SATA 3 needs but also of the size of the cradles 
with all the current ones I looked at too big to fit inside the case 
because the mobo is in the way :-( ). Maybe I am looking in the wrong 
places.....Or get a new Antec case....)
