January 4, 20251 yr Hello, This is my first time doing working on any type of project regarding storage so please excuse me if I get some things wrong. I've got two 12TB HDD's sitting in a HDD enclosure, I have that enclosure plugged into my Mini PC using USB-C. However, every time I try to format the two hard drives to add them to my array, it says "Unmountable: Unsupported or no file system". I've tried many things such as clearing any type of "Write Protections" by plugging the enclosure into my windows machine opening CMD and running a few "diskpart" commands. I even cleared the disks that way. When I opened up disk management I was able to use them as volumes with GPT and NTFS. So I tried to plug it into my Unraid server and used Unassigned devices plugin to preclear and erase all data and format, but am still left with it failing... I'm really not sure what to do. It seems like the drives work and I'm just doing everything wrong... Thank you for taking the time to read and potentially assist. diagnostics-20250104-0156.zip

January 4, 20251 yr Author Is there truly no way to make this work? I only have 1 USB-C port on my hard drive enclosure. No ethernet ports thanks for the replies!
January 4, 20251 yr Author For reference, this is the exact hard drive enclosure I have. Mediasonic USB 3.2 4 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure DAS – USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps Type C | USB-C (HF7-SU31C) Support 24TB HDD
January 5, 20251 yr Community Expert If the same thing is happening with both drives probably, there's not much that can be done, but post the output from lsusb -t
