July 20, 20205 yr I upgraded my unraid setup and I pulled a couple of hard drives out. My unused partsI pulled out of the old version were 2*8TB Seagate Archive HDD and 2*240GB SSD. I want to put the 2*8TB Archive HDDs into a multi-bay HDD enclosure I have. I took the first HDD out of the Unraid machine, plugged it into the HDD enclosure, formatted it, and it worked immediately and well. I pulled the second HDD out and put it into the HDD enclosure and it didn't show up on my system. I have since tried to get it to show up on 2 Macs, 1 Windows PC, and even an Xbox One just to see if it would allow me to format it, but none of these systems even recognised a drive had been attached. I plugged the HDD back into the Unraid machine, powered up and it works fine, still has all its files and everything. I tried changing the format type in Unraid but this didn't help. I'm hoping I'm just missing something here, any help is appreciated.
