![]() Turns out affected devices are not encrypted. I am not discussing the why and how, I am interested in whether the data is recoverable or not.Īs many of the USB type MyBooks decrypt data whether you set a password or not, I was first fearing data recovery would become rather complex. unless you do not mind paying too much.Īt this time, we recommend you disconnect your My Book Live and My Book Live Duo from the Internet to protect your data on the device. As a general advice, skip large labs like Ontrack, DriveSavers etc. Feel free to use the contact form and share your location with me to see if I can recommend a reliable affordable lab near you. ![]() These are ridiculous quotes for basically a logical data recovery case IMO. ![]() UPDATE: I see posts of people who contacted data recovery labs and got quotes ranging from $1000-$2000. This may address some of the issues of people recovering many corrupt files. These tips apply to any tools that do a RAW scan or signature scan for lost files, so also PhotoRec for example. UPDATE: I added a paragraph on improving recovery result of ‘RAW scans’ right below the R-Studio step-by-step guide. I write this blogpost as I learn new stuff about this issue so nothing of this is written in stone and I will update and correct if and when needed. Well, this is no longer a rumor, it is happening. Earlier this week ‘ rumors‘ started spreading about WD MyBook Live NAS devices were remotely instructed to return to factory settings.
