(The maximum capacity of ODX Buffer volume is 1 TB.)Ĭoncatenation can be performed among multiple RAID groups.Īny RAID level can be applied for a concatenation source volume and a concatenation destination volume. Volume capacity can be expanded by using the free space in an existing RAID group.įree space that is 1 GB or more can be concatenated.Ī volume with a maximum capacity of 128 TB can be created. Volume expansion provides the following features: User Fox_exe has a set of manual directions for the first gen and second gen single bay My Cloud models that many have successfully used.This function concatenates a new volume to the selected volume by using the LUN Concatenation function to expand the volume capacity that can be used from the server. They likely will not work properly on a multi bay My Cloud model and could result in bricking (rendering unusable) a multi bay My cloud model. The “unbrick” methods used on the single bay/single drive My cloud models are ONLY for the single bay/single drive My Cloud modes. Because the single bay/single drive My Cloud has two versions (first gen v3.x/v4/x firmware)and second gen v2.x firmware) the process to write the firmware is different between the two models. Or use the appropriate manual method of partitioning and formatting the large capacity drive then writing the appropriate single bay/single drive model firmware to the hard drive. From cloning the old hard drive to the new hard drive then using a partition management program expand the data partition (sdb4/ext4) to the full unused space on the larger capacity hard drive. The unbrick process can be performed a number of ways on a sinle bay/single drive My Cloud. WD did not create a simple way to perform this process as they do not officially support replacing the hard drive on the single bay/single drive My Cloud units. Because the firmware/operating system of the single bay/single drive My Cloud unit resides on the hard drive one must partition and format the hard drive a specific way then write the firmware to the hard drive. Second is to replace the single internal hard drive on a single bay/single drive My Cloud with a larger capacity new or used hard drive. One will need to use a USB hub (likely powered) when using multiple external USB hard drives on a single bay/single drive My Cloud. The single bay/single drive My Cloud supports using up to seven external USB hard drives. ![]() Make sure to note which version you have and backup all content just in case the unbrick or imaging process fails.įor a single bay/single drive My Cloud there are generally only two ways to increase storage space on the unit itself.įirst is to add an external USB hard drive using the single USB 3.0 port on the back of the single bay/single drive My Cloud units. ![]() ![]() Note that the My Cloud hard drive is generally formatted for Linux so if using Windows one will need to use a third party Linux driver to view the contents of the My Cloud hard drive.Īlso because there are two different single bay models the unbrick process is slightly different for each version. Some have reported success using a disk imaging program to crate a disk image that is then burned to the new drive. Including using the various “unbrick” methods that one can search for in this subforum (using the search feature, magnifying glass icon upper right). The second way, the unofficial way, is to replace the My Cloud hard drive with a larger hard drive. First, the official way, is to attach an external USB hard drive to the My Cloud USB port. There are two ways to increase disk space. I own my cloud 2TB, and I need more space, is it possible to replace the disk with higher capacity disk?
