Looking to purchase a My Cloud Mirror (x2 drives in mirror) to safe guard against data loss due to drive failure.
My question is, if the electronics in the My Cloud fails (i.e. the main board), but the drives are working perfectly fine, can you remove a drive from the My Cloud Mirror and connect to a PC to see the data? Will the drive appear in a Windows PC as a normal drive would?
If not, what would be the process to recover data without having the My Cloud Mirror hardware?
My question also extends to the My Cloud EX4 in a 4 disk RAID5 configuration. Obviously with RAID5 you would not be able to remove a single member drive from the RAID5 and read the data on a PC, but in a situation where the My Cloud EX4 failed, how would one go about recovering the data from the perfectly good operational drives (assuming several years have passed and WD no longer make the unit)?
