meph88 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Does the problem hard drive work if it's the only drive in the enclosure? Quote Link to comment
