    WD NAS Drive My Cloud

    Well hey all, it's been awhile since I've posted or even been here. Anyways, I have a Western Digital NAS Drive that for some reason will not come out of standby mode, everything I've read and looked up online is telling me oh SOL. The drive is not dead, I can here her spinning up with no abnormal clicking sound from the drive. I removed the drive from its casing and took the ethernet adapter off the drive to hooked it via SATA to my big rig. Now my problem starts, I think the drive is encrypted (Im assuming WD does this with most of the NAS/Newer Drives) I have some Data on the drive I am trying to get off (yes I had it backed up but replication stopped for some reason) Does anyone know how I can get this data back or am I SOL?

    Nas drives use linux so try a bootable linux cd.
    Linux lite will mount everything.
