Replacing a MyCloud disk (in Aug 2021 with Gen2 model)

Put an unused drive in it. It’s what I did. Put an old laptop drive that was sitting around unused into the enclosure. Keep it around as a backup to a Synology NAS. Unless going with an Raspberry Pi 4 you are not going to gain much read/write and network speed wise due to the limited nature of Raspberry Pi’s and their use of a single USB 2.0 lane that limits all shared traffic to around 300mbps.
