Reuse

We owned a My Book Live, with 1TB HD as a “fancy” NAS Drive probably released around 2012. Because Windows 11 now comes with default SMB 2.0 and upwards, you cannot use it unless you install SMB 1.1 (SMB 1.1 is insecure and old). I had some older 256GB SSDs and I wanted to replace the existing HD with the SSD and use it primarily to stream music from the drive. I also had saved a 3TB image of the firmware a couple years ago. Here’s how I did it.
