Is it possible to use the mycloud2ultra as an external HD? i.e Have no encryption on such that the drives could be removed and inserted into an external drive bay and still read?
You do not own a My Cloud Home.
What is the Operating System/Firmware for you device? Have you read the User Manual.
All Network Attached Storage: Shop NAS Enclosures & Drives | Western Digital
How do you mean I don’t own one?
I am using Windows 11 Pro. Re re manual.
The problem is two folds
- The answers are often wrong when readers from outside the subforum who don’t actually know the device to try to answer the question. They don’t own the machine and they think they know, but don’t actually know because their knowledge do not apply.
- It confuses the readers in the subforum because they now have misinformation that they think applies to their device due to some guy trying to help but getting it wrong. So they end up complaining about how “useless” the subforum has become.
If the original poster had read and posted in the correct subforum, he might have come up with a better and more useful use case in this My Cloud EX2 Ultra subforum reply:
Seriously do you just read through every new forum post on WD and check it for issues? Because you don’t seem to offer much but talking to people who are looking for help like they’re idiots.
And you were a firefighter, I can just picture you showing up to a blazing house and lecturing people on using extension cords

Haha no kidding. And it might help if they structure of the forums weren’t harder to understand than quantum physics
