target=\"_blank\">WD My Cloud 1TB<\/a> for $70 when it&#8217;s on sale. I knew that I would upgrade it to 2TB since I have a few in <a href=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/techs\/category\/building-pc\" target=\"_blank\">my HTPCs<\/a> (now they&#8217;re obsoleted), although the device is brand new, but after reading the <a href=\"\/\/community.wd.com\/t5\/WD-My-Cloud\/GUIDE-How-To-Unbrick-your-2TB-3TB-4TB-My-Cloud\/td-p\/765959\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;how to unbrick&#8230;&#8221;<\/a>, I decided to try it, the worst scenario is I would be out of $70. I do trust WD quality. For people who don&#8217;t have WD 2TB+ laying around, it&#8217;s cheaper and more efficient to buy units with 2TB-4TB, the price increments are actually very minimal. Don&#8217;t do this unless you have WD drive, NOT any other brand. I used the Samsung 2TB and it didn&#8217;t work, wasting a few nights trying.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>You need to remove the drive from the case. Regardless on how I read the how to on youtube, I still broke all the lock taps. If you do it carefully, you can still open without breaking anything. There are 4 lock taps and they&#8217;re not at the same heights, so look at the pictures, lift the tap and slide the case forward to remove, it&#8217;s tight but doable.<\/em><a
