Slightly more expensive at £58, but this deal was super-hot around three weeks ago at £53 and it's only a fiver more.
Recertified product still comes with a limited warranty and a thirty day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied.
These went out of stock really quickly last time, so I hope this helps someone out.

Would these be viable alt to paying for cloud space?

If you really must put your files on a cloud (i.e your own one) you're better off using a QNAP or Synology device as they support their devices for years by comparison.
Companies of these sort of entry cloud type NAS devices rarely offer any kind of long term firmware support for these types of devices. Whereas QNAP and Synology are much better suited for a personal cloud situation.
I've got a QNAP device which released 2011 and it only just last week received its final firmware upgrade; QNAP made me aware that was the case too from within the devices interface when I logged in as well, so I kind of know where I stand with that device going forward.
During that time (since 2011) I've lost count of the amount of times that awesome little device has received newer operating system upgrades, bug fixes, vulnerability fixes and security exploit patches since it released and its now mid 2017.
You simply wont get that level of support from companies like Western Digital who's primary market is to sell HDD's, not servers.
If you simply want a local NAS that your not going to connected to anything more than a secure LAN then this is okay'ish, but if you want one that has strong security, receives regular updates, bug fixes, security exploit patches, offers SSL/TLS (https) certification for secure remote access, AES NI data encryption, bundles or free apps for easy setup and use from your IOS/Android mobile device, plus a bundle of other uses then buy QNAP or Synology.
