My new 16TB Drive arrived today. My goal is to clone my Western Digital 16TB Home Duo, that continues to "phone home" to my dad (previous owner) anytime it is running out of space (5TB or less) or it shuts down due to overheating.

I have written to Western Digital; I have tried blocking him getting their emails, nothing works.

I will start cloning it onto the new 16TB, when it is done, I'll shut down the WD, remove the drives, erase them, and have two new 8TB drives to do with what I please.

I feel like this is a horrible idea, but theoretically the emails stop if the unit no longer exists correct?

Then I get to ask what to do with two essentially brand new 8TB drives.
