I finally had success putting a new HDD in a WD My Cloud single bay "NAS" (in inverted commas because it's barely a NAS) Man talk about a convoluted way of operation. This has been a project that's been ongoing, off and on, for a couple of weeks now, with every previous effort hitting a brick wall somewhere in the process. Even with a still usable (but slowly dying) HDD of the same brand and model as the replacement, it was still a PITA. You would think it was simply a case of cloning the drive... nah, not that easy LOL. Building the drive partitions (seven of them) manually still took three attempts before the NAS would recognise it and allow you to access the web interface, so that you could allow the device to rebuild and reformat the partitions to it's own liking.

As opposed to my Synology NAS, that I fitted two brand new drives to, without losing any data, simply by replacing the drives one at a time and letting the system rebuild the drives individually as they were replaced.

Anyway, it's up and running now, so the daughter will be able to stream her own music to a new digital streamer I got for her.

Anyone contemplating buying one of these devices, I would strongly recommend them checking out the alternatives.

By my very limited understanding, if it's a multi-bay unit, the remaining drive/s rebuild the new one, but if it's only a single, it's got to do it all itself, which is much harder ???

Correct, to a point, but I'm talking about actually setting up and assigning partitions on the drive. But yes, a two/multi bay device (as long as it isn't a wd cloud type monstrosity) is much easier and safer to use.

Yep.. the MyCloud doesn't use RAID. But even trying to clone from the original drive, it reported "target device too small" for the same brand and model number drive.. But thinking back, it was probably due to the partition table wrong format. MSDOS instead of GPT. Which is why the original drive is shown as unallocated space in Win and Linux Mint. Easiest way is to SSH into the NAS and partition and assign manually.

Next mission will be to get the 4wd in there as well...

Something completely different for me, I have some clock faces that have been in the cupboard for months so I thought I better get to and do something with them. Face is are 70mm to give you some scale. The Napoleon is in Myrtle, the Cone is Huon pine and the Art Deco is Huon pine with Jarrah, Blackwood and Myrtle wings.

Has anybody installed an attic ladder in their garage? I need some more storage space and was thinking about installing an attic ladder and putting ply across the truss. As you can see from the pic there's not much space between the truss so it would be a bit of Tetris. Thoughts, suggestions???

Not much head and shoulder room up there Jamie....

Maybe ditch the fixed ladder idea and put ply across the bottom chords in 2 or 3 bay lots, leaving every third or fourth bay open for access from below?

You really needed attic trusses up there, we did a conversion at our place in Ringwood, but it was a built frame roof that we turned into a complete room.

BTW, the roof rack isn't hanging straight with the mortar courses
