Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I got some 10tb Iron Wolf internal HDD's but they wont run with my computer with an external setup. For some reason they don't show up when plugged in. I get a beep, the HD's whirl, but never show up on the screen. I tried 2 different hookups for external HDDs. I wonder if there is a limit in tb drive size the computer will run. I have some HP slims desktop computers with Win 10 with 8RAM and 1 TB HDD. I also tried the Iron Wolf 10tb drives on a HP laptop with 16 RAM and no go. Drives do not show up. Tried 2 10tb drives and 2 different hookups. The hookups both work with a 2tb Barracuda drive and works with a DVD drive, but not the 10's. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 After reading the docking station's specs I now see it only supports up to 6tb. But does not explain why the cord does not work. There must be some limit in tb that you can use externally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
