We’ve had this question/assertion before, that MyClouds are using WD Green drives.  It turned out the people making these claims were looking at WD MyBookLive boxes, not MyClouds.  The conclusion was that MyClouds do use WD Red drives.

If you get a replacement via an RMA, you may get a refurbished unit.

If you buy a new device, you should get a new drive.
