Question about WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra
How does it work when inserting two hard disks that do not have NAS firmware? Is a firmware included in the RAM (rather not)? Or is it possible to install a firmware after inserting two hard disks in order to unlock / use the corresponding tools and services? Many thanks

Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure what exactly you mean by NAS firmware. If you mean the software with which this NAS runs, it does not have to be installed on the hard disks. You can buy normal hard disks without special requirements and install them in this NAS.
If the NAS is only running for a few hours at a time and is completely switched off when not in use, then in principle you can use any hard disk. If the NAS is to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hard disks that are optimised for continuous operation in NAS are recommended. These would be, for example, Seagate Ironwolf or WD Red hard drives.
