Just last week I've bought 2 tb model... I'm not sure whether I should be able to help you. But you can pm me

hmmm i might need the raw image of the file system, you will have to ssh into it and extract . Will come back with "how to do it "

 

[smnrock]

I think someone in the wd forum posted already the raw image for both 2tb and 3tb... This is in response to recovery of bricked unit

Thats for MY BOOK LIVE. i used that and am sucessfully running a jugaad my book live NAS .
Since i already had a 3TB red drive . i looked and i found an pcb for wd my cloud on ebay and bought it, hoping i could build a NAS with newer hardware. But it seems wd community admins have removed that guide for wd my cloud

This is interesting, can you please post the link to the PCB on ebay.

So how is this powered now? with a 12V adapter? I can make out the USB3.0 port, the LAN port, the one on the right looks like a 12V round power port but cant really make out with this image.

its basically this drive - http://www.flipkart.com/wd-my-cloud...1,,,c,,,,,,,&gclid=CPLJweevqr0CFWUF4god_iIAeg

without the casing and stuff. Some guy was pissed of with his my cloud drive and tore it apart. Such PCB's are not available readily, you have to keep looking.

This is my "open nas" setup
One is pcb of my book live on Wd green drive; and 2nd is my cloud on red drive

OK, so you have 2 Network drives, both running the WD NAS FW.
How much did you get the PCB for?

Yes 2 NAS , one based on MY BOOK LIVE - and one based using WD MY CLOUD

price - yeh aandar ki baat hai

Was just curious since 3TB Red is around 9.5K; searched the internet and found some PCBs around >=75$. Added together that comes to the same price that you would get a new 3TB MyCloud(13-13.5K). But then you get a Green drive inside the MyCloud; and you also mentioned that you had the 3TB already with you.

My book has green drives, and my cloud come with red drive, and you can safely assume I got PCB with hdd and much lower prices.
. Btw, I will be selling the my book live PCB soon . -' as I have another PCB with case lying around.
