Interesting.

Something is amiss on my WD My Book Live.

Showing only 3 GB storage left and the date was incorrect.

Attempted to correct the date but discovered that the year cannot be set beyond 2020 (firmware limit I think.)

NAS was not allowed internet access.

TBD.

Want to bet that WD's "fix" will be telling users to just buy a new one?

Build your own nas with open source software and any spare mini-tower or tower pc you have from the last 2 decades.

Does anyone know if this also affects the WD My Cloud devices? They look very similar to the My Book live devices
