![]() ![]() The copy process would probably be even faster if one is using a desktop PC with spare SATA ports where one could connect both the My Cloud hard drive and the SSD drive direct to SATA ports/cables. With all the time the OP is spending trying to “clone” the 2TB hard drive to a 250GB SSD drive I have to wonder if it wouldn’t have been faster (even when downloading a gigabit of data) to simply use the unbrick process (if done right takes less than half an hour) then copy over the files. Then use gparted to delete partition 2 on /dev/sdc, re-create partition 2 on /dev/sdc (using all remaining disk space), and format partition 2 on /dev/sdc as ext4.īecause we have a valid source disk, and the user wont have to download nearly a gigabyte of data? So, filling in the blanks here, and re-using the instructions I posted several replies up- this is what needs to be issued from the command line (as a root user!!) sudo suĭd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=4096 count=2560 You have identified that in your test rig, it has the /dev/sdb device ID. In your case, we have a functioning disk drive. (say, it fell off the shelf and hit really hard, or some other calamity.) It contains the basic data to restore a mycloud to function with a bare disk drive and a little linux savvy. The instructions cited prior by Bennor are for people that do not have a functioning disk in their mycloud unit. “De-Bricking” is a process for turning a device that no longer functions (again, “a brick”) into a device that functions again. In tech circles, a “brick” (and or, “paper weight”) is a device that no longer functions. Second gen v2.x P/N -10 single bay My Cloud:Įdit to add: There might be more work involved, like fixing any “Share” permission issues after copying the data from the existing My Cloud hard drive to the new SSD drive but I assume there are workarounds since one may be using Linux when copying the files. Note that the first gen and second gen unbrick procedure are not the same so make sure to use the right version.įirst gen v3.x/v4.x P/N -00 single bay My Cloud: They include partitioning of the drive to take the My Cloud firmware. User Fox_Exe has unbricking guides for both single bay My Cloud versions that many have used. I’ve been reading this discussion and wondering why one doesn’t simply do an “unbrick” on the SSD drive so it is setup as a single bay My Cloud drive (with the proper firmware) then simply connect the My Cloud hard drive to the PC (running Linux) and copy the data over to the SSD drive’s My Cloud data partition (that is also connected to that same Linux PC). I think perhaps I need to do a total RESET on this thread with the question becoming how to partition and format the 120GB SSD so that it is suitable as a direct replacement for the 2TB HDD in the M圜loud enclosure. ![]()
