    Hi All
    i bought a western digital My Book 4Tb drive. I thought i bought a version with a ethernet connection but thats now called My Cloud. My mistake

    i have it opened so i cant return it. I want to use it to store all my media files on it for my home entertainment system. I thought i could connect it into a router with usb but was told that most routers only support up to 2TB

    im stuck so has anyone any suggestions how i get around my problem. Do i just try sell the My Book or is there a router that can slove my issue

    You may have to format it in 2x 2TB partitions for it to work
