Hey all,
I'm really stuck and hoping for some advice. I recently got a couple of 28TB Seagate Exos recertified drives(ST28000NM000C) , but no matter what I try, I can't get them to work. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Tried installing them in a regular HDD bay—didn't work.
Put them into a TerraMaster DAS enclosure—still nothing.
Bought a brand new UGREEN NASync DXP4800 thinking it might be an enclosure compatibility issue—but whenever I insert these drives, I just get repeated beeps and the drives aren’t detected.
Other drives (smaller capacities, other brands) work fine in all these devices, so I'm struggling to figure out if these Seagate drives are the problem, or if there’s something else I'm missing about handling very large recertified disks.
If anyone has experience with high-capacity recertified Seagate drives or similar errors (especially if you’ve made them work in any of the above setups), I’d really appreciate your insight. Happy to provide more details or test suggestions if needed.
Thanks in advance!
