Although I don't have recent testing experince, after the whole 2TB 'thing', the marketing became about the largest drives tested at time of release.

Someone else can look into this further but I think it was not handling Advanced Format Drives (4k sectors) that was the crux of limitation.

Hi Scott (and everyone else who replied),

As other on the thread have zero'ing in on, it is likely an issue with whatever USB/SATA adapter your using. This was a known limitation of early chipsets, and I recall the marketing shift to 'supports larger then 2TB!'.

Pretty sure that's it. As I look around at what's available, even finding one now that supports 10TB is not so easy, many top out at 8.
Since I can't yet put the drive in the chassis I have this enclosure on order which will be useful later anyway.
Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone want my existing enclosure? I can bring it to the next meeting. You all know its limitations, but can't beat the price,
