Hi guys,
I have been happily using mycloud 2 TB for over a year. Recently I noticed random slowdowns and the drive disappearing from the network. I ran the below command to check it and this is what I get.
smartctl -a /dev/sda

What are my options at this point? Can I format or rest the drive somehow? If not, I am even considering replacing the hard drive myself as it is out of warranty. I have another external WD 1TB hard drive (it has its own power as well, looks similar to mycloud). I wonder if I can put this 1TB disk into mycloud following @Fox_exe guides.
Any help would be appreciated.
