No, I don't want the HDDs (have plenty 0.5TB) but just FYI they weren't
called MyCloud in 2009 but "MyBook World Edition". Mine had one 1TB drive
and I binned it in 2013 (but still use the HDD) because the Samba was not
Win8.1 compatible. It is the NAS which crashes, not the Windoze, whenever a
Win8.1+ device boots into its LAN, let alone tries to map a drive! I did a
lot of hacking of it and used a newer Samba for NLSU2 but it had several
other issues so I replaced it with a 2TB MyCloud which is a lot better, but
I wish I'd gone Buffalo. I doubt the SMBv5 issue was deliberate, but WD
certainly profited from it, refusing to fix it themselves.

So, it's just as well you didn't revive it!
