Flashing blue lights on My Cloud

One method of recovering data from a My Cloud drive that cannot be reached on the local network is to remove the My Cloud hard drive from it’s enclosure and attach it to one’s computer using either a spare SATA connector, USB to SATA adapter, a USB to SATA docking station or similar adapter. There are a number of videos showing how to remove (shuck) the My Cloud hard drive from it’s enclosure that one can find online.

Because the My Cloud hard drive is formatted for Linux one will need to either use Linux or use a Linux driver on their computer. For example if using Windows.

The largest partition on the drive is typically the data partition where one can find their files/data.
