Unraid not detecting new USB-HDD

[fsnetworks]

Hello everyone!

I've spent some time on the forums right now and could not find a proper solution to my problem yet. 

I've just started with unraid and am currently running it on an Intel NUC11. Just today I tried to install 2 brand new Toshiba 16TB MG08 via USB 3.0, each in its own external enclosure. They are both detected in BIOS but Unraid only seems to find one at a time, so they are both detected just fine as long as I dont plug in both at the same time. Other configurations, so 1 of the MG08 and 1 random other USB-HDD simultaneously work just fine, just not the two MGH08s together.

Please find the diagnostics attached. Do you guys have any idea on how to fix this?

Note that USB is not recommended for array or pools devices, but the problem is that both devices have the same identifier, Unraid requires a unique identifier to be able to track the devices, you'd need to use a different USB bridge for one of them.

Thanks for your reply! I know USB is not recommended - might change that later on. Different USB bridge simply meaning: Go buy a different enclosure, right?
