Just picked up a 16tb external from Seagate to shuck the exo drive, since I am just upgrading an old 6tb ironwolf from my server the thought was to just throw the 6tb in the enclosure and give it to a friend.

However, when the enclosure with the 6tb is plugged in it will spin up and power on for about 10 seconds then power off and spin down.

The drive and enclosure were both working just fine so I suspect this is some shenanigans, can anyone confirm that other drives are locked out or should this be working?
