I have a Seagate 10TB 3.5" drive which I was using as a large single drive to copy the contents of my 8.5TB RAID5 volume, so I could back this single drive up to the cloud and get away from using a RAID array.
I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 on the machine.
Drive is formatted NTFS and is easily seen in the 2K8R2 machine.
I removed the drive from the computer, installed it into a USB3 external enclosure, and attempted to view this drive via the USB interface, using a different computer - this one running Windows 10. No dice. Nothing showing in My Computer, but I do think I saw it in the device manager. Obviously, it's not visible to Windows as it is.
I'm wondering why.. For giggles, I removed it and placed it back in the original 2K8R2 box and voila! It's there.
Drive is healthy. Just not visible via the external enclosure to the new computer.
Obviously, I don't want to have to format the disk - I'd like to view it as-is with the other machine.
Is there a driver issue when it's using the USB3 interface versus SATA directly inside the other machine?
