Hello - Trying to help my daughter recover files from a Western Digital NAS My Cloud storage device. She has Wedding Pictures, Financial documents and several other important files. The OS was fried. No damage to the hard disk (WD30EFRX wmc4n1347190 BIN W2). I sent the device to a Data Recovery company for a free estimate. The good news all the files (29K+) are recoverable.... Bad news, the price tag requested was $799.00 (OUCH, OUCH). So I watched a few You Tube videos. Just ordered a hard drive connector cable cord (cheap). When it arrives.... looks like all I need to do is 'Plug & Play'. (nothing is ever that easy). Am I getting into something I'll regret? One concern, the My Cloud is an NAS device. Will the files copy over without any related/needed software? Any suggestions or pointers to lift my confidence before I start this "project" are appreciated.
