When the NAS unit is booted, the software obtains access to the storage via a networking protocol and enables the recovery of data from its disks via LAN without any manipulations with the hardware internals. There is no need to worry about the warranty, vacant ports or any additional equipment – the procedure can be performed even when the disassembly is not possible or may lead to undesirable consequences.

Developed specially for NAS devices of the MyCloud series produced by Western Digital, the program takes into account the peculiarities of storage technologies employed by these models. Therefore, it allows avoiding the compatibility issues that may occur when non-specialized software is used and achieving the maximum effectiveness of data recovery.

Automatic reconstruction of RAID
Automatic reconstruction of RAID Automatic reconstruction of RAID

For MyCloud NAS units that are based on the RAID technology, the application can automatically detect the parameters of the array and puts the storage together, including standard mdadm RAID levels (RAID 0, RAID 1) and non-RAID drive architectures (SPAN).

Though the software automatically reads out the configuration of the array from the available metadata, there are still cases when this information gets lost or severely corrupted. Under such circumstances, the user can define RAID manually by specifying its level, stripe size, etc. and build it in a virtual mode for further data recovery operations.

The straightforward and convenient interface substantially simplifies the work and eliminates the required efforts to just a couple of clicks. The recovered folders and files can be sorted by date, size, type and names while the search function allows looking for particular items. It is also possible to preview images, texts, PDF-documents or videos, save all the found data at once or select the needed folders or files.

Please note: Data recovery over LAN is not possible for the following models of WD MyCloud NAS:
  • My Cloud Expert EX2, My Cloud Pro PR2100, My Cloud Pro PR4100

We recommend using Recovery Explorer or UFS Explorer for data recovery from these devices.
