It’s been a while but wanted to post that I was eventually able to get this resolved.
The problem with the WD MyCloud was that the capability to log in to the drive failed. I believe it was a hardware issue but I’m not exactly sure to be honest. I took the drive to a local computer store (in NJ) and they were able to take the MyCloud apart, access the device directly by bypassing the log in piece and extract the data. The actual drive itself was not encrypted so the data was easily accessable.
I then bought a dual bay Synology NAS (DS223) and moved all the data from the bad drive there and am now using the NAS for this data as well as my Time Machine backups. I’m really impressed with the Synology machine and capabilities.
