Hi,

Have you guys ever had issue connecting an enterprise HDD (previously formatted NTFS while on SATA) to USB (via the usb/sata) adapter?

I have a 16TB exos drive used internally. Yesterday when I upgraded with a larger drive, connecting that 16TB exos via the usb/sata adapter, that whole drive now becomes raw partition. When I hook that 16TB drive back to SATA port, it's now visible.

It's not the adapter b/c I have used 20TB exos on that adapter fine. I have swapped drives from SATA to USB many times (and reverse) before but never done with enterprise drive until now.

Edit: it turns out that the usb/sata adapter is the culprit. I just hooked up that drive to another usb/sata adapter and the drive is visible. Thank you all.
