    Ears to the ground

    "... why not go iMac and a 2nd monitor? M1-2-3-4 isn't critical. My MBP with M1 still flies!" Good idea. If you get another Mini, check the drive size. 256G might be too small.

    "You can mount s3 mac using additional software..." I'll need a translation of what that means. I have no clue.

    LaCie Extreme Triple Interface

    Satcomer - " I ask because sense the hardware raid it was formatted FAT32 for Windows Machines!" That's true. I got a second enclosure with 4 3.5" drives that are IDE. When I used a drive adapter/usb connector to my iMac the native formatting is 'Fat32'. The LaCie enclosures have their own way...

    LaCie Extreme Triple Interface

    Nothing was mounting. I pulled the drives. I got them all formatted. They are a set of 4 500Gig IDE drives. All I need now is a 4 drive IDE enclosure. That's an iMac running 10.6.8. I formatted them with Disk Utility.

    LaCie Extreme Triple Interface

    I put a volt meter on the power supply. It passed. It has 5 volts where it's supposed to. Looks like it's time to open the case. I can mount each drive separately and re-format them. From there I can see what's wrong in there.

    LaCie Extreme Triple Interface

    So far it hasn't mounted. I'm going to look for a hardware repair. I'll see if there are any tutorials out there.

    LaCie Extreme Triple Interface

    The LaCie formatting must be some kind of old proprietary system. Disk utility read it as one drive. Tonight it didn't mount with usb or FW800. I'll connect it to my new iMac. I'm running an OWC raid with their raid software. I'll see if the old LaCie can show up on it. If so I'll re-format it...

    LaCie Extreme Triple Interface

    My bad. First it wouldn't mount. I switched from Firewire 800 to USB and it mounted. I believe this heavy tank of a drive has four drives? It was difficult to find any real info on this thing. The user manual is available, but it's all very basic. So I believe it's a 4 drive system, sort of a...

    LaCie Extreme Triple Interface

    My Lacie drive wouldn't mount. As I started it I held down the lighted button. It didn't change colors but the volume mounted. It worked through USB. I'll try the Firewire 800 tomorrow. I'm using it with an older Mac Book 13" It has a bunch of ports. Ethernet, Thunderbolt 2, USBs, firewire 800...

    4TB drive becomes 1.8T

    this is from Costco. I'm not ex gov. or any other qualification, but my wife could join. This looks a good back up option. I'm ok for media drives for video editing. But, these USB 3.1 drives look good as a back up option. Thanks, SGilbert...

    4TB drive becomes 1.8T

    DeltaMac - I used a different adapter. It was unrecognizable. I don't believe this drive merits your time. You are a great help. I don't want to waste good tech advice on a bad device.

    4TB drive becomes 1.8T

    It is GUID partition map. Mac OS Extended journaled. I'm not using an enclosure. It's a USB port, power supply with multi-adapter.

    4TB drive becomes 1.8T

    I have a used Dell Sata drive. It's a 4TB. It reads on Disk Utility as 1.8T. I formatted and ran first aid. It still reads as 1.8TB in size. Is there a way to make this drive a 4TB again?

    Unmount Error

    I know it's an old thread, but this just helped me. I'm setting up a G5, 1.6ghz with 10.4. I'm going to put in a second new SATA drive and I'll let it ride!
