You can’t buy just the board. Look for posts bt fzabkar. He showed somebody how to solder wires where the port broke off and add some type of connection for data recovery. He is the only one with a real understanding of these boards.

Just buy any external drive enclosure and use it to interface and power you SATA drive. This is certainly not a big deal.

If you have already enforced drive security in your drive, you’re out of luck until you fix your original my Book interface card.

You cannot buy spare interface for MY Book unless you look for a secondhand one.
