What's in the box?:
The My Cloud comes packaged in an attractive blue box. The front, top, back and sides of the box show the device from various angles and list many of its features. Inside the box you'll find the My Cloud as well as an AC power adapter, ethernet cable, quick installation guide, warranty information and a sheet of paper advertising WD's concierge service.
Physical Features:
While there are a few cosmetic differences, the My Cloud looks very similar to WD's My Book external desktop hard drives. Measuring 6.75 x 6.1 x 3.9 in (171.45 x 154.94 x 99.06 mm), the device is small enough to fit on your desk or even a bookshelf.
The My Cloud's case is constructed out of silver and white plastic. The front and sides also have a glossy finish which looks great. If you look closely, you can see that there is a single LED on the front of My Cloud. This indicator lights up white when the unit is first powered on and then blue when its OS is ready. It will also light up yellow when attention is required and red when there is a fault such as a disk failure.

The rear of the My Cloud is pretty straight forward. Along with the power connector, there is a gigabit ethernet port and a USB 3.0 port. The reset button is also located on the back and, if you're concerned about the device being stolen, there is also a spot for a Kensington security lock.
