The message went when I disconnected the cable again I plugged the cable back in and now it shows.Īnd this has stayed on the screen for 20 minutes After a few minutes there was a 'chime' so I loaded DM again. ![]() Out of desperation I disconnected the cable but DM still just displays the 'Connecting.' messageĪny guidance or help would be appreciated I have searched the forum for info on 8Tb drives but they appeared to be pre release of 8Tb drives. I also have 2 RAID mirrors so wouldn't want to play with Intel SATA ports for fear of upsetting them I have 2 SSDs (240Gb each) and a few 3Tb and 4Tb drives. I am taking both drives to try on a friend's system later today and I will get back with an update. I would really appreciate any help or advice as to how I can proceed to get DM working and formatting this drive. This drive is barely warm so that is different :) I exited it and re-activated a couple of times but it never gets past the 'Connecting.' message. Left it for a while longer then 'End Task' in Task Manager.Ĭhanged ports and left it for another little while and then kicked off DM again.ĭM just sits there with 'Connecting to Virtual Disk Service'. I then started a 'Quick Format' expecting it to finish fairly quickly but it kept the hourglass on for a while then I noticed it was 'Not responding'. I loaded Disk Management (DM from now on) :) and it asked me to choose MBR or GPT. On switch on the system dropped into the BIOS so I exited without changing anything and it booted up. I tried the first drive with 3 different ports and 2 different cables, it wasn't visible in Disk Management and it got HOT (much hotter than any drive I've felt before). I also have an SI-PEX40071 8 port SATA 3 PCIe card and a fully updated Windows 10 I have an Asus Z87 motherboard on a system about a year old(?). I went and bought 2 8Tb drives as one 3Tb and one 4Tb had died and I thought I would 'bite the bullet'. ![]()
