MY Cloud Pro powered with an Intel Pentium N3710 quad-core 1.6GHz processor with 4GB of RAM and a hardware-accelerated video processor. The video processor is used for transcoding stream content to and from popular formats, including 4K video. We’re also told that the video processor is capable to encode video content to another format that iOS devices could play, thus eliminating compatibility issue.

Pokdepinion: I’m more interested with the My Passport Wireless Pro Wi-Fi mobile storage. It could be convenient when we are going to any event as the whole team can utilize all the shared pictures to share with our fans. With this, it’s easy to manage all our social media accounts even if one of the team members is not at the event. It would better if they came with a diskless option too.
