OMG, I'm pretty sure in my frustration I did NOT try it with the brand new drives I got. I DID try it with the existing drives and no dice. It worked with the new Samsung drive I got! Thank you!

Hey All, long time listener, first time caller. Finally decided to bite the bullet and give Unraid a try! I understand that the licensing is tied to the GUID of the usb drive, but you all have to make it SIGNIFICANTLY easier to find drives that will work with Unraid. So far, I've gone through about 13 different drives (bought from reputable brands and others that I had on hand) and NONE of them have had a valid GUID. I've tried links from folks here in the forum and none of those drives have worked as well. I've heeded the PSA's around not using/buying from paticular manufacterers. I've gone through Samsung, Transcend, Sandisk (I know I know), and others. I have 4 other drives arriving today that I'm hoping one of them will work. Is there a definitive list of usb drives with valid GUIDs? If Unraid is going to pin their licening model on this, there's gotta a better way. I'm desperately trying to just give this product a chance so I can potentially become a paying customer.
